    Is This Your Situation?

    This page is for anyone injured by a driver who fled the scene of an accident anywhere in Georgia.

    Overview

    Most hit and run claims rely on your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, since Georgia requires drivers to carry it unless they've rejected it in writing. We confirm your coverage and pursue it aggressively.

    Liability Considerations

    When a driver cannot be identified, your own uninsured motorist coverage often becomes the primary path to compensation. Georgia requires this coverage unless rejected in writing (O.C.G.A. ยง 33-7-11), and prompt reporting to police and your insurer helps protect your claim.

    • We maximize your uninsured motorist coverage
    • Free consultation, no fee unless we win
    • Direct attorney access โ€” not a call center
    • Experience locating fleeing drivers through evidence

    Protect Your Case

    What to Do Now

    1. Call 911 immediately to report the crash
    2. Try to remember any details about the fleeing vehicle
    3. Look for nearby security cameras or witnesses
    4. Get medical care even if injuries seem minor
    5. Call us before speaking with your own insurance company

    Deadlines and Legal Framework

    Georgia generally requires drivers to carry uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage unless they reject it in writing (O.C.G.A. ยง 33-7-11). That coverage is often the key to recovering compensation when a driver flees the scene.

    Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Case

    We see these missteps regularly in Bluffton hit and run accidents cases. Avoiding them protects your claim.

    1. Not reporting the accident to your insurer promptly
    2. Repairing your vehicle before it's documented
    3. Delaying medical treatment
    4. Assuming you have no options because the driver wasn't found

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I recover compensation if the driver is never found?

    +

    Often yes, through your own uninsured motorist coverage if you carry it and you reported the accident promptly to police and your insurer as your policy requires.

    Will my insurance rates increase after a hit and run claim?

    +

    That depends on your insurer and policy, but you generally should not be penalized for a claim caused by someone else's fault, especially a fleeing driver.

    What if the hit and run driver is later identified?

    +

    If the driver is found and has insurance, your claim may shift to pursue their policy directly, potentially in addition to your own UM coverage depending on the circumstances.
