According to the Kentucky State Police, nearly 11,000 hit-and-run accidents occurred in 2011. While nearly half of all hit-and-runs take place on urban streets, many also occur on interstate highways. If your vehicle was stalled on the shoulder of the highway, the other driver may have taken advantage of the situation and fled, knowing you could not follow.
Getting Insurance Benefits For A Hit-And-Run Collision
Enduring a motor vehicle accident is difficult enough without the added stress of trying to track down the other driver. Following a hit-and-run accident, you may be worried about getting adequate insurance coverage. Fortunately, you may be able to obtain coverage through your own insurance policy’s underinsured/uninsured motorist provisions.
The practicalities of getting the coverage you need can be complicated. Insurance companies are often reluctant to pay out the full amount you are entitled to obtain. They may pressure you into an unfair settlement. Without an attorney to protect your rights, you could lose out on valuable compensation. In some cases, filing a lawsuit may become necessary as a way to gain leverage.
