Most drunk drivers are aware of the consequences of their actions, but they think a serious incident will never happen to them. When they cause an accident, the tendency is to flee the scene.
If the drunk driver flees the scene, you could still be eligible for compensation. You need to file a police report, so the police can investigate the incident and locate the driver, if possible. If found, the driver may be subject to fines and jail time.
If the police do not catch the hit and run driver, you could still seek compensation through your own Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury or Underinsured Motorist Bodily Injury coverage if this is available.
We represent many clients who have been the victims of hit-and-run accidents, and we can help you seek all available compensation for your injuries.
