A hit-and-run accident is an accident in which the driver intentionally leaves the scene without giving his or her contact information. Accidents like hit-and-runs are crimes in which a driver is involved in a collision and knowingly fails to stop.

With these types of crashes, victims often have difficulty getting compensation for property damage or hit and run injuries because the person to blame has already left the scene. Drivers may leave the scene because they do not have a driver’s license or auto insurance. Also, they may have an outstanding warrant for their arrest. If an uninsured driver is involved in a hit and run accident, he/she is more likely to flee the scene for fear of getting in trouble for lacking car insurance.

There are three types of insurance you can purchase in West Palm Beach that will cover you for your injuries due to a car wreck.

The first one is Personal Injury Protection - Florida’s “no-fault” law requires drivers to carry at least minimum insurance coverage for personal injury protection. Therefore, a person who is involved in a car accident may first look to his/her own insurance company for the payment of medical expenses, up to the state minimum of $10,000.

Bodily Injury (BI) is the second type of insurance that covers a driver if he or she causes permanent or serious injuries or death resulting from an automobile crash. It covers such things as lost wages, medical expenses, pain, and suffering of the injured person.

The third type of insurance - Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UMC) - will cover you if you sustain injuries in a car accident caused by a driver that is either uninsured or underinsured. Serious injuries can require ongoing therapy and expensive medical treatment. It is important to carry uninsured motorist coverage to protect your family and yourself in the event of an auto accident caused by an uninsured driver.

Searching for the identity of the responsible driver in a hit and run collision can be hard, but is not impossible. Witnesses to the crash can provide information that aids in searching for the driver. Video is another very helpful source of information. With the plethora of surveillance, mobile phone, security and other video recording cameras these days, there is often video footage available showing your crash or accident. Finally, evidence can be left at the scene such as a license plate falling off a car, or vehicle parts with identifying markers.

Because memory becomes fuzzy and video often records over itself after a given time period, it is vital that you don’t delay in seeking an attorney in time for him or her to be able to take action in a securing evidence before it is too late.

It can be extremely hard to recover financial compensation without the assistance of an experienced and skilled auto accident attorney. In a hit and run accident, because the person at-fault for the accident fled the scene, drivers who are left harmed must collect compensation via their own insurance companies. That’s why a knowledgeable hit-and-run accident lawyer is crucial in these types of wrecks.
