Hit-and-run crashes are uniquely frustrating — but a vanished driver doesn't always mean no recovery.
Your UM Coverage Steps In
Uninsured motorist coverage on your own policy is designed for exactly this situation, treating the unidentified driver as uninsured.
Help Identify the Driver
Note everything you can — plate fragments, vehicle description, direction of travel — and report immediately. Nearby cameras sometimes capture the vehicle.
Act Quickly
Prompt reporting and evidence collection improve both the chance of identifying the driver and the strength of a UM claim.
