What to Do After Hit-and-Run Accident/ Example from Macon Pedestrian Collision

Hit-and-run accidents create many questions about claims and how to proceed with insurance companies in order to ensure that victims are compensated for their injuries.  Although uninsured motorist (UM) coverage can generally be used when filing a claim for an auto accident in which the at-fault driver fled the scene and cannot be found, some car accident victims need help recovering the compensation they seek and have questions as to which actions to take immediately.  A Macon area vehicle-pedestrian accident this morning, for example, may have raised questions regarding the rights of the woman who was struck.  According to Liz Fabian of the Macon.com website, police are still searching for the young male driver who fled the accident scene after hitting the female pedestrian with his vehicle on Crescent Avenue in Macon.  Although no visible injuries were apparent, the woman was taken by ambulance to The Medical Center of Central Georgia for her condition to be determined.
