Don't Worry — You're Covered for Hit-and-Run Accidents
Normally, the insurance company for the party that caused an accident pays for your losses. However, most Southern California drivers carry a limited amount of liability coverage, which often is not enough to compensate you for your injuries and damages. Often, individuals try to flee the accident scene or simply failed to maintain insurance coverage at the time of the accident. In any of these situations, you still have protection under your own auto insurance policy for your medical care, lost wages and pain and suffering from a hit-and-run accident.
Most individuals have uninsured motorist coverage, but do not know when this applies. Additionally, in California, your uninsured motorist coverage also acts under insured motorist coverage, whereby your insurance company will cover damages above and beyond the at-fault driver's policy. This coverage applies to all motor vehicle accidents, including hit-and-run accidents. Additionally, it applies to individuals involved in motor vehicle accidents, bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents. Additionally, uninsured and underinsured motorist disputes are resolved through binding arbitration, which allows you to avoid the stress of trial.
