A hit-and-run accident can feel overwhelming—but the steps you take right after matter.
Even if the other driver leaves the scene, you may still have options for recovery and compensation.
What to do next:
• Call 911 and ensure safety first
• Seek medical attention immediately
• Note any details (car, colour, plate, direction)
• Take photos of the scene and damage
• Speak to witnesses if possible
• Report the incident to police
Hit-and-run cases can still be pursued through insurance coverage in many situations.
Understanding your rights early can make a significant difference in your recovery.
