New Haven Hit & Run Accident & What To Do

A New Haven hit-and-run accident occurs when either another vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian is hit and the other driver flees the scene. It is this illegal to leave the scene if you are involved in a accident and it can have an impact on your insurance claim. If you are ever in your vehicle and are involved in a New Haven hit-and-run car accident, the following will help you with your claim:

1. Seek medical attention. Anytime you or a loved one are in a New Haven auto accident, your primary care provider or emergency department physician should treat you immediately. You want to make sure any injuries from the accident are documented. Sometimes, it can take several days or weeks for injuries to present. Make sure you are visiting your doctor.
2. Report the accident. File a police report with the town where the accident occurred.
3. Call an experienced lawyer. If your injuries are significant, you may consider speaking with an experienced New Haven auto accident lawyer.
4. Call your insurance company. Report your accident to your insurance company. Sometimes you do not know the insurance information on the driver who hit you, so you will need to begin your claim with your own insurance company.
