Under Indiana law, a hit-and-run driver is defined as someone who causes a collision and then flees the scene without providing required information such as their name, address, vehicle registration, and driver’s license details. If you are involved in such an accident, taking immediate action can make all the difference in holding the responsible party accountable and securing the compensation you deserve.
First, if the other driver is attempting to flee, grab your cell phone and take as many photos as possible. Capturing the vehicle’s license plate number and other identifying details can be vital in tracking down the driver later. Additionally, report the accident to the police immediately to ensure an official record is created.
Next, notify your insurance provider and provide them with as much detail as possible. In hit-and-run cases, you may be able to file an uninsured motorist claim with your own insurance company, which can help cover medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and other damages.
Finally, consulting with an experienced attorney is crucial. The legal process following a hit-and-run can be complex, and having a knowledgeable lawyer by your side ensures that your rights are protected. The attorneys at Tabor Law Firm have over 100 years of collective experience handling these types of cases and fighting for the justice victims deserve.
