What should I do if Im in a hit and run accident?
Call 911 to report the accident and notify the emergency operator if anyone in your vehicle has been injured. If you saw the license plate number of the vehicle, write it down immediately. Write down a description of the vehicle, including color, make and model, or vehicle type, i.e., sports utility, compact, etc., while that information is fresh in your mind. Also, if you saw the hit and run driver, write down any details that caught your attention, i.e., approximate age, male or female, dark hair or blond, etc. Do not move anyone who has been injured. Do not move your vehicle until directed to do so by a peace officer. Provide the investigating officer with as much information as possible regarding how the accident occurred. The investigating officers report will serve as proof of the accident. Report the hit and run accident to your insurance agent at your earliest convenience. If you have uninsured/underinsured coverage, your insurance company will be responsible to pay for any dam
