Hit & Run Accidents

Who's Responsible When A Motorcycle Is Involved in A Hit and Run Accident?

Hit & Run Cases: It happens all the time, a motorcyclist gets hit by a negligent driver and that at-fault driver takes off.   A dreaded “Hit & Run” and you never find out the identity of the driver.  

How can you get compensated for your injury when the negligent driver is unknown?  How can you sue someone that is unknown?

Similarly, pursuing an uninsured negligent driver is also problematic.  You could ‘win’ the case but collecting money damages is way different.  If they did not have insurance, it is often because they can’t afford it and it’s likely you would never recover money damages from them.

The winning avenue of recovery in both Hit & Run and Uninsured Motorist accidents is pursuing your own Uninsured Motorist Insurance Policy.  You can have an injury claim or lawsuit against the insurance policy on your motorcycle, but only if YOU were covered by a special kind of insurance--  called Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage.  

This coverage allows you to bring the same claims you would have against the negligent driver that took off or failed to carry insurance, thus, the name: ‘Uninsured Motorist Coverage.’  There are certain time limits and potentially other requirements.
