Any time you’re involved in an accident, thorough documentation is needed for your insurance company. But when one party is missing, this becomes more difficult. In a hit and run situation you’re also going to need to get the police involved right away so that a police report is on file. Here are a few Do’s and a couple Don’ts for when you’re involved in a hit and run.
DO
· Get as much information about the other driver as possible
· The first thing to try to take down if possible is the license plate number
· What damage do you think the other vehicle sustained
· A description of the other vehicle
· Where the other vehicle was headed
· Location, time and cause of the incident
· Photos of the damage to your car
· Ask witnesses (if any) for what they saw and get their contact information
DON’TS
· Do not follow the other car
· Do not wait to call the police or your insurance company
