i had a car accident reciently but the other driver took off so didnt get any insurance details im now having to claim from my own insurance but is their any way i can claim for personal injury.
Answer:
Your first stop is your insurance company. Unfortunately, it may be your only stop. If you weren't able to get any details on the other driver you have no one else to file a claim against. However, if you DID at least get a license plate on the other car and filed a police report, the police can track that individual down and you can file a claim against the driver's insurance company. If the driver didn't have insurance at the time of the accident, you can still file suit against the driver personally. If you are able to go against that person and/or the insurance company, be sure to go after them for EVERYTHING, including repairs on your car, rental car expenses while your car was in the shop, all medical bills, and any time you had to spend filing a police report or going to the doctor or going to the body shop...you get the idea.
I hope you filed a police report. See the source below...
You may have "uninsured motorist" coverage on your policy- this would take the place of the hit and run drivers bodily injury coverage.. so yes.. if you have that.. you can.
otherwise, nope.
Yes - you can pursue Uninsured motorist liability coverage - if you have that coverage on your policy. If you don't, then you have no outlet to pursue, aside from Med Pay or No Fault, depending on what state you are in.
You want to look at the motor insurance bureau www.mib.org.uk and look for details of their untraced drivers agreement.
Here is their claim form http://www.mib.org.uk/nr/rdonlyres/dbdbf...
You have to have some means of proving that another vehicle was involved, and something that ought to identify the driver.
