Hit and Run Car Accidents in Pennsylvania

Were you in a car accident and the other driver fled the scene or otherwise left the crash scene without giving their insurance information? If so, you may still be able to recover for injuries and damages. First, you need to report this to the police. The police may be able to search for the other driver based on any description or information you give them. In Pennsylvania, whether it was on a highway like Route 422, or a local road, drivers are required to stop at the accident scene and provide their insurance information to the other driver. Second, you should report the loss to your own auto insurance company as soon as possible. Under your car insurance, you want to have Uninsured Motorist Coverage. This coverage protects you and your family against both other drivers who have no insurance and hit and run drivers. So, if the driver who hit you is never found, you would still have coverage or bodily injury and damages under your Uninsured Motorist Coverage. If you have questions, contact us. (610) 792-3304.
