There’s the bad news…
You park your car and go shopping. When you get back, you notice it has been damaged. And unfortunately, the driver of the other car has not left their name or number.
You get into a fender bender. You fill out an accident report form with the other driver, but when you come to settle the claim, you discover to your dismay that the information the other driver gave you was false.
These are both examples of a hit-and-run accident—your car is damaged by another vehicle, but you don’t have the driver’s name.
… but fortunately, there’s good news, too!
A hit-and-run is always covered by your insurance policy so long as you have collision insurance, which normally covers you in the event of an at-fault accident. To find out if you are covered, simply check your insurance contract or contact your insurer.
By choosing the Worry Free OptionTM from The Personal and be sure to get a copy of the police report the same day the accident occurs, you will avoid paying the deductible in the case of a hit-and-run. It’s as easy as that!
