I was hit by another driver the other day, but it was a hit and run. The police wrote it up and everything. If I make a car accident compensation claim that wasn’t my fault, will my insurance go up? I need to be able to recover the money to pay for the damage to my car and my medical bills.




Answer:
If you were hit by a hit and run driver and the accident was not your fault, the damage will be covered by your uninsinured/underininsured provisions of your insurance policy (assuming you purchased such insurance). Generally, because you did not cause the accident and you are not making a liability claim, your insurance rates will not rise. However, you may wish to speak to your insurance carrier to be certain, and you may also wish to speak to a car accident attorney who can help you determine what type of coverage is available to you and what your best course of action is for recovering your damages.
Talk to a Car Accident Attorney to make sure you get all the compensation you're entitled to.
