Many drivers have experienced the frustration of leaving a store and walking to their car, only to discover that someone had hit their vehicle and left.
These incidents are hit-and-run collisions. They should be treated just like any other accident in which the other driver flees the scene. In these situations, uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance is very helpful. This type of insurance coverage provides benefits in case an at-fault driver does not have sufficient insurance or is not present. To collect evidence of the hit-and-run accident, you may need to inquire about surveillance footage or speak to other witnesses.
