Understanding Hit-And-Run Accidents And Your Rights
Hit-and-run accidents often leave survivors feeling helpless, but you have options. The state law provides compensation avenues through your uninsured motorist coverage or the Georgia Crime Victims Compensation Program. Even when the at-fault driver is unknown, you have rights and potential paths to recovery.
Immediate Steps To Take After A Hit-And-Run
Your actions immediately following a hit-and-run are crucial, so:
- Document any details about the fleeing vehicle.
- Report the incident to the police immediately.
- Seek medical intervention, even if the injury seems minor.
The law gives you two years from the date the accident happened to file a lawsuit. Therefore, do not delay in seeking legal help.
