Call police right away and provide everything you remember — vehicle color, make, partial plate, direction of travel. A prompt report is important both for catching the driver and for your claim.
Report It Immediately
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Virginia's required UM coverage can apply to hit-and-run crashes, even when the at-fault driver is never found, if proof requirements are met. This is often the key path to compensation.
Gather Evidence
Look for witnesses and nearby surveillance or traffic cameras. Footage can identify the fleeing driver or corroborate your account.
