What to do right away
If safe, note anything you can about the vehicle (color, make, plate, direction of travel), call the police to file a report, look for witnesses and nearby cameras, and seek medical care. A prompt police report is important.
Finding the driver
Investigators may identify a fleeing driver using traffic and business camera footage, witness statements, debris, and vehicle damage. Acting quickly improves the chance of locating them.
Recovering when the driver isn’t found
Many policies include uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage that can compensate you when the at-fault driver flees and cannot be identified. Understanding and using this coverage is often the key to recovery.
