Were you injured in a hit and run accident? At Cassett Law, we can help get your medical bills paid and you compensated for pain and suffering, even if you do not know the identity of the person who hit you. In New Jersey, drivers are required to carry auto insurance. Many people do not realize that there is an entire section of their policies that deal with unidentified drivers. This scenario would fall under the uninsured coverage or UM section of your policy.
It is important to notify your insurance company right away, if you are involved in a hit and run accident. The personal injury protection or PIP section would cover your medical bills, and the claim would be opened as an uninsured claim. The limits you chose in this portion of your policy would be the limits available to compensate you for pain and suffering.
Understanding your policy and what it covers can give you peace of mind when a tragedy occurs. At Cassett Law, we can help explain your policy to you. Give us a call anytime with your questions, so you can make sure you and your family are protected in the event of an accident.
