What to Do After a Hit and Run

Before anything else, you need to make sure you’re safe after a hit and run. Seek medical attention and make sure to get a full report of your injuries from the doctors. After you’re safe, do the following:
Take photos of the damage to your car. Do this before taking it to the mechanic in order to document the full extent of the damage.
Write down the location and time of the accident.
Call the police. They need to file an official accident report. If you can do this while still on the scene of the accident, that’s good. If not, still call them afterwards.
Write down any information you have about the other driver. That includes their license plate number and the make, model, and color of their car.
Get an experienced and compassionate hit and run lawyer. This step is key to ensure you get justice – and the compensation you deserve.

What to Do After a Car Accident: Detailed Steps

Knowing what to do in the moments after a crash can protect your health, your rights, and your ability to recover compensation. Here’s a practical breakdown of the steps to follow—and where to find more in-depth info if you need it:
1

Get Medical Attention

Always get checked out, even if you feel fine. Adrenaline can mask serious injuries, and having medical records is crucial to any claim.
2

Call the Police and Get an Accident Report

A police report documents the scene, identifies the parties involved, and can help determine fault. This will be one of the key documents needed later in your case.
3

Gather Evidence at the Scene

4

Secure Dash Cam Footage

5

Collect and Organize Important Documents

In the days following your accident, start compiling all relevant documents: police reports, medical records, repair estimates, insurance communications, and anything else related to your crash and injuries.
6

Notify Your Insurance Company

Report the accident to your insurer, but stick to the facts. Avoid speculating or admitting fault. If you’re unsure what to say, a car accident attorney from KFB Law can help guide you.

What to Know When Hiring a Hit and Run Attorney

A good lawyer will be with you through every step of the process. From filing your claim to dealing with insurance, KFB Law is here for you. Leave the heavy lifting to us while you focus on recovery.

There are also several special considerations when dealing with hit and run accident cases. These are just a few that we account for:
Have the police been able to identify the hit and run driver, and if so, have they been charged?
Was there a red light camera at the intersection, or in the case of a parking lot accident, was there a security camera at a nearby store?
Where did the hit and run driver go after leaving?
Our hit and run lawyers will advise you of all the special investigative steps we’ll need to take along the way.

Handling Medical Costs

KFB Law will also help you find relief for medical care and transportation costs. If you’re unsure of how you’ll be able to afford medical care after your accident, call us.

There are several different ways to help with your medical care cost.
First, we look to your auto insurance policy and use your PIP (personal injury protection benefits). It’s important to get medical care within 14 days of a car accident. If you don’t you could risk losing up to $7,500 in medical benefits.
Next, if you have health insurance, we could use that to help pay for your medical care. We’ll help figure out what insurance owes you.
Finally, we look to the person or corporation responsible for your hit and run accident if possible. We’ll see if their insurance coverage is enough for your expenses.
Even if we cannot find the other driver, you may have insurance under your own automobile policy for a hit and run accident.

    Legal Hurdle: Injured by an Uninsured Motorist

    Our client was driving through an intersection when another driver ran a red light and crashed into their vehicle. The impact caused serious whiplash and a lower back injury, leading to ongoing pain and the need for medical treatment and therapy. To make matters worse, the at-fault driver had no insurance, which created a major roadblock for receiving compensation. Despite having their own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy, our client quickly realized that the minimum $10,000 limit wouldn’t be enough to cover all expenses. They came to us unsure of their rights or how to recover damages when the other driver had no coverage.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
Nearly 2. 5 years ago I was rear ended by a commercial truck causing injuries that would effect me a life time. With the help of Mr. Manny Fernandez and his staff they made this process easier than I could’ve imagined. They were by my side the entire time and kept me up to date with the latest development. He himself would call to check on me periodically, especially after both back surgeries. The KF&B group always had my best interest at heart. Once again many thanks to Manny Fernandez and staff at the KF&B group.

I had two car accidents from within 2017 and 2018. The first one is where I got hit by a tow truck. He got in my lane and hit me. Then the second accident was where a drunk driver hit me in the rear end. I cannot work anymore because of this. I have tried to work and make money to live on. I called the law office and they took my case right away. I just want to say that I am so happy with the results. I am now able to have some peace of mind. They helped with the medical portion as well as I am still in the recovery process. Thank you so much for helping me with my two car accidents. The very best I would say and so much more

Marcus Fernandez was amazing. I have been in two car accidents that were not my fault. He handled both accidents with respect, and strength. Mr. Fernandez did an outstanding job with ensuring that I was aware of every move, every response from the other insurance carrier, what our next steps were going to be, including doing the full mediation to settle out of court for me!! I appreciate all his help!! I highly recommend Kinney, Fernandez, and Boire!!!! This law firm is a great group of individuals who care about their clients and are determined to get results!!!!
