  • Locate witnesses – Most accidents will typically get a lot of attention. However, after you make sure that you and your passengers are safe, see if there are any witnesses to confirm what happened. Make sure to get their names and contact information.

More on that, take photos from different angles, including a full view of the vehicle and close-ups of any dings and scratches. Do not forget to take pictures of the paint left by the other car if there is any.  Look for any evidence of the other vehicle involved. 
     
  • Call your insurance company – This is not just for hit and run accidents, this is for all accidents. What is more, the trained professionals at an insurance company can walk you through what to do, and how to file a claim.

What Is a Hit and Run?

A hit and run accident are when the person responsible flees from the scene of the crash. Sadly, some people have been known to flee even though it was only a fender bender.  

Also, a person could experience fines, criminal charges, license revocation, or even jail time. Although, this all depends on what state you live in. 

Since the penalties can be severe, they are often the reason that a driver may choose to flee. Here is a look at a few penalty examples:  

  • The most obvious reason is they lack auto insurance coverage. 
  • They know that they have just broken the law and are afraid.  
  • They have been using drugs or alcohol. 
  • The vehicle they are driving is stolen. 

Rest assured that being involved in a car accident is more than enough to ruin anyone’s day. However, the experience can be especially disorienting if you are involved in a hit-and-run.
