More than a quarter of auto vs. bicycle accidents in the U.S. features a hit-and-run driver. Depending on whether the driver can be found and identified, being involved in a hit-and-run accident can have a major impact on your claim. The at-fault driver’s liability insurance compensates the vast majority of traffic accident injury claims. Without knowing the driver’s identity, you don’t know whether they have insurance, the name of their carrier, or the number of their policy. Your attorney can explain your legal options in a Bakersfield hit-and-run bicycle accident, including filing a claim on your own uninsured/ underinsured motorist policy or having your medical expenses paid in part by your employment-based health insurance policy. We will also be in contact with the police responsible for investigating your accident to determine if there has been any success in finding the hit-and-run driver.
