โ Frequently Asked Questions
1Can 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.
2Will 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.
3What 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.
