At-fault drivers typically flee the scene of an accident because they do not want to deal with the insurance ramifications. They may know that they do not have enough insurance coverage (or no insurance coverage) and fear the potential consequences of a future personal injury claim or lawsuit.
Therefore, if you suffered injuries in a hit-and-run accident, you can turn to your own insurance company for monetary compensation. Your lawyer can investigate your accident circumstances and determine your available legal avenues for recovering the monetary damages you deserve.
