If you can identity the driver
If you cannot identify the driver or they are not insured
If you are unable to locate the driver responsible for the property damage and injuries you have sustained, it will not be possible to recover damages from their insurance company. Many times the drivers who flee the scenes of a crime are not insured anyway. In this instance, you will have to try to recover the cost of your loss through your insurance company under your uninsured or underinsured motorists' coverage.
Most uninsured motorist coverage will only cover hit and run accidents if your car was actually hit by the driver's car. You will also need to notify the police within 24 hours of the collision.
