After a hit-and-run accident causes serious injury or takes the life of a motorist, passenger, pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist, law enforcement agents normally make an effort to find the motorist who left the scene of the accident. Police are likely to charge that person with a crime once they find the culprit.
Your personal injury or wrongful death claim will, of course, be impacted by whether police identify the person who hit you or your family member and left the scene of the accident. If the person remains unknown, any claim for compensation will likely be made against your own insurance company. Your insurance company, in turn, may launch its own investigation in an effort to find the hit-and-run motorist and hold that person responsible.
If the accident victim was on foot or on a bicycle, it can be a challenge to determine all the insurance policies are that you can tap into. You are likely to need legal advice to know where to turn to make a claim for compensation for your injuries and resulting expenses and losses:
