- If you are a victim of a hit and run accident, we may handle your case. Under Michigan Law, it is a crime to leave the scene of a motor vehicle accident. If the driver causes an injury or even death, and leaves the scene of a crash, he could face up to 15 years in prison and/or a $10,000.00 fine.
- If you are a victim of a hit and run accident, do not leave the scene either, as you could be leaving behind valuable evidence for your car accident claim. Immediately call the police and file a police report within 24 hours. You should also immediately report the accident to your insurance company. If you are driving someone else’s car and are involved in a hit and run accident, you should immediately report the accident to their insurance company. Time is always of the essence, and most insurance companies will require you to file a police report within 24 hours and report the accident to the insurance company immediately. If you do not do this, you may be forfeiting your right to bring a claim for injuries.
- Most insurance policies will carry optional “Uninsured Motorist” coverage, which will allow you to recover compensation for your physical injuries, pain and suffering, and permanent disfigurement, if you are involved in an accident with a hit and run driver.
