What to Do After a Hit and Run

Call 911 Immediately

A police report is critical. Report the hit and run right away so officers can begin searching for the vehicle and documenting evidence.

Document Everything

Note the vehicle description, color, license plate, and direction of travel. Check for traffic cameras and nearby security cameras. Get witness contacts.

Get Medical Attention

See a doctor even if you feel fine. Adrenaline masks injuries. Medical records link your injuries to the hit and run for your claim.

Your UM/UIM Coverage Is the Key to Recovery

When a driver hits you and flees, you may think you have no options. But California law requires every auto insurance company to offer uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. If you carry UM coverage — and most California drivers do — you can file a claim against your own policy to recover compensation for your injuries, even if the hit and run driver is never identified.

An estimated 1 in 7 California drivers is uninsured. That is one of the highest rates in the nation. UM/UIM coverage exists specifically to protect you in situations like these.

File a police report immediately — a documented police report is essential for both criminal investigation and your UM/UIM claim.

Check for traffic and security cameras — intersection cameras, business security systems, and dashcam footage can identify the fleeing vehicle.

Notify your own insurance promptly — UM/UIM policies have notice requirements. Report the hit and run to your insurer quickly, but speak to an attorney first.

Do not accept your insurer’s first offer — your own insurance company still tries to minimize the payout. An attorney ensures you receive the full value of your claim.

Compensation in Hit and Run Cases

Even if the driver is never found, your UM/UIM coverage allows you to recover compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Have MedPay coverage? It can cover immediate medical costs while your UM claim is processed — regardless of fault.

Medical Expenses — ER, surgery, rehab, medication, specialists, and all future treatment related to your injuries.

Lost Wages — missed work, reduced hours, and diminished earning capacity going forward.

Pain & Suffering — physical pain, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and lost quality of life from the accident.

Property Damage — vehicle repair or replacement, rental car, and personal belongings damaged in the collision.

Why You Need a Hit and Run Attorney

Your Own Insurer Is Not on Your Side

When you file a UM claim, you are making a claim against your own insurance company. They use the same tactics as any other insurer — lowball offers, delays, and disputed injuries — to minimize what they pay you. An attorney levels the playing field.

Evidence Disappears Quickly

Traffic camera footage, security recordings, and witness memories fade fast. An attorney acts immediately to preserve dashcam footage, request camera recordings from nearby businesses, and document physical evidence before it is lost.

Multiple Coverage Sources Exist

Hit and run victims may have access to UM/UIM coverage, MedPay coverage, health insurance, and — if the driver is found — the at-fault driver’s liability policy. An experienced attorney identifies and pursues every available source of recovery.

UM Claims Can Go to Arbitration

If your insurance company refuses to pay a fair amount on your UM claim, the dispute can be resolved through binding arbitration. An attorney experienced in UM arbitration fights to maximize your recovery in this process.

Common Hit and Run Injuries

Whiplash & Neck Injuries

Sudden impacts from hit and run collisions cause whiplash, herniated discs, and chronic neck pain that may require long-term treatment.

Concussions & TBI

Traumatic brain injuries range from mild concussions to severe damage affecting memory, cognition, and daily function.

Broken Bones

Fractures to arms, legs, ribs, and pelvis are common in hit and run collisions and may require surgery and physical therapy.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Hit and run impacts can cause herniated discs, spinal fractures, and paralysis with lifelong consequences and mounting medical costs.

What Insurance Companies Won’t Tell You

Their First Offer Is a Lowball

They Watch Your Social Media

Recorded Statements Are Traps

They Delay to Pressure You

Your Own Insurer Fights You Too

Once You Sign, It’s Over

Your Claim Is Worth More

An Attorney Changes Everything

What You Can Recover

Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and diminished quality of life.

Repair or replacement of your vehicle and any personal property damaged in the hit and run collision.

Frequently Asked Questions

The timeline for filing depends on the specific circumstances of your case. California law generally provides two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If a government vehicle was involved, you may have as little as six months to file an administrative claim. Your UM/UIM policy may also have separate notice requirements. Call us to discuss the specific deadlines that apply to your case.

Yes. Even if the driver who hit you is never identified, you may still recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. California law requires insurance companies to offer UM coverage to all policyholders. Your UM policy covers your injuries when the at-fault driver is unidentified or uninsured. An experienced hit and run attorney can help you navigate this process and maximize your recovery.

At Law Warriors Group, we work on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront costs, no retainers, and no hourly fees. You pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict we recover for you, so there is zero financial risk to you.

Call 911 immediately to report the hit and run. A police report is critical for both criminal investigation and your civil claim. Try to note the vehicle description, license plate, color, and direction of travel. Check for nearby traffic cameras and business security cameras. Collect witness contact information. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine. Do not post about the accident on social media before speaking with an attorney.

Uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage is part of your own auto insurance policy. It covers your injuries when the at-fault driver has no insurance, insufficient insurance, or cannot be identified — which is exactly the situation in a hit and run. California law requires insurers to offer this coverage. UM/UIM claims are filed against your own insurance company, and an attorney experienced in these claims can help maximize your recovery.

California law prohibits insurance companies from raising your rates solely because you filed a UM/UIM claim for a hit and run accident that was not your fault. You are simply using coverage you already paid for. An attorney can ensure the claim is handled properly and protect your interests throughout the process.

Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is a separate part of your auto insurance policy that pays for your medical expenses regardless of who was at fault. MedPay can help cover immediate medical costs — such as ambulance rides, ER visits, and initial treatment — while your UM/UIM claim is being processed. Unlike UM coverage, MedPay does not require you to prove the other driver was at fault.

The timeline depends on the specific circumstances of your case, including the severity of your injuries, whether the driver is identified, and the complexity of the UM/UIM claim process. Some cases settle in a matter of weeks, while others involving serious injuries or disputed coverage may take several months or longer. Your attorney will work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while maximizing your compensation.
