Car Accident Hit and Run – What Should I Do

WHAT TO DO AFTER A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT – MINNESOTA LAWYERS

After a hit an run accident, there are several things you should do. First, call the police and stay until they arrive. If you were able to get a license plate number or vehicle description, the police may be able to catch the driver who ran or did not stop. The Rochlin Law Firm can help you with the aftermath of a hit and run situation.

Here are the issues that come up after a hit and run accident:

  • Catching the driver who ran.
  • Prosecuting the driver for leaving the scene.
  • Getting insurance to pay for repair or replacement of your car.
  • Paying for Medical Bills.
  • Reimbursement of Lost Wages.
  • Other Compensation.

Our lawyers primarily handle the insurance issues. Hopefully the police and a prosecutor will take care of the criminal side against the other driver. If they catch the other driver, their insurance will pay for the damage to your car. Their insurance cannot deny the claim just because the driver left the scene. However, in many cases, the other driver is not caught or they don’t have insurance.

Of course, if you have full coverage on your car, your insurance will pay to fix or replace your car. In addition, your auto insurance will pay for your medical bills and lost wages. You don’t have to have full coverage for that – it is part of every police in a No Fault state like Minnesota. In addition, if your injury is serious, you have uninsured coverage to pay you pain and suffering compensation.
