Unfortunately, hit and run collisions leave many people injured every year. If you’re involved in such an accident, you should NOT try to follow or chase the other car.
Instead, you should do the best to remember the following:
- License plate number
- A description of the driver
- The color, make, and model of the car
Regardless of how much information you’re able to get, you should immediately call the police. It is crucial to make sure that a report is filed, as this will play an extremely important role in your claim. You can follow up and request a copy of this report later. It is also vital to seek immediate medical attention for any injuries you have suffered – your safety should be your top priority.
