Hit And Run Claim

Answer:

There are cases that are harder than others. Getting by a hit and run driver as a pedestrian is one of those. The hit and run driver is gone. Typically, their identity is not found out. Sometimes it is later on, but if they’re hitting and running, they’re leaving the scene. Many times, they don’t get caught, so you lose your ability to make a claim against the driver and his insurance company.

You may have an ability if you’ve purchased uninsured motorist coverage with your own automobile to make a claim. If you do not own an automobile and you do not have that kind of insurance, then this is a tough conversation that we have with people who are hurt in that scenario. There may not be a practical ability to help you.
