A hit and run accident occurs when someone hits your person or your vehicle and flees the scene. In the best case scenario, you sustain property damage. In the worst case scenario, you are severely injured, or even killed.
Unfortunately, many hit and run drivers are never caught. In cases of property damage, the owner may have collision coverage and may be able to make repairs to the vehicle through their own insurance company. In bodily injury or death, however, a family loses a loved one and may feel that there is no recourse for medical or funeral expenses.
Repairing a car can usually return life to normal. However, in a bodily injury or death scenario, returning to normal may not ever be possible. The financial worries presented by these cases only compound the grief.
