What to Do After a Hit-and-Run Accident

You may still pursue damages if the other driver doesn’t pull over. If you help law enforcement identify and apprehend the driver, you can strengthen your case for compensation in a lawsuit. Here are some of the steps involved:

• Gathering as much information as possible at the scene of an accident is crucial. You may or may not be able to recognize the car’s brand, model, and color from the license plate.
• Immediately contact law enforcement and report this. Within a few days, you can get a copy of the accident report from the California DMV or the police station where the report was filed. You should include it with your claim.
• Gather all the data you can about possible witnesses. Get their names and phone numbers as soon as possible.
• Get medical attention immediately. If you are injured, you should get medical help immediately, even if you feel fine.
• Private insurance companies need to be notified immediately. When dealing with other insurance providers, do not accept any settlement without consulting a hit-and-run accident attorney.
