Hit and Run Car Accident

Answer:

If you have been involved in a hit-and-run accident or if you were run off the road by what’s known in Florida as a “phantom motorist”, then you still have a claim for injuries, if you have uninsured motorist coverage available on your policy. There are two things you need to do very quickly, however – number one, you need to make sure you notify the police that you were either hit by another vehicle that left the scene or run off the road, as the case may be, and, secondly, you need to notify your insurance company. There are typically time limits in insurance policies that define when you must notify not only the authorities, but also your insurance company.
