Being the victim of a hit and run accident leaves you feeling helpless and uncertain about how to get compensation when the at-fault driver cannot be identified. GroverLawKC helps hit and run victims explore every available avenue for recovery, including your own uninsured motorist coverage.
Your Uninsured Motorist Coverage After a Hit and Run
If you have uninsured motorist (UM) coverage on your own auto insurance policy, it can apply to hit and run accidents where the at-fault driver is never identified. UM coverage is designed precisely for situations like this. Unfortunately, your own insurance company may not make this process easy — they have an incentive to minimize payouts even under your own policy.
An experienced attorney can handle negotiations with your insurer to ensure you receive the full UM benefits you are entitled to. We also investigate the accident to locate any witnesses, surveillance footage, or other evidence that may help identify the fleeing driver.
Reporting Requirements and Evidence
After a hit and run accident in Kansas City, it is important to contact law enforcement immediately and file a police report. Document the scene with photographs, get contact information from witnesses, and preserve any dashcam footage if available. The more information gathered immediately after the accident, the stronger your claim will be.
Kansas and Missouri both require reporting hit and run accidents to the police as a condition of insurance coverage. Our firm can guide you through the reporting process and help you document your claim properly.
