Having trouble getting insurance?

A “hit and run” is when a person involved in an accident leaves without identifying itself. What to do if you are the victim of a hit and run?

Settlement process in a hit and run

Police report release
Contact the police as soon as possible. They will fill in and give you the number of the report.
Contact your insurer
Call your insurer or broker as soon as possible. Send him a copy of the police report number.
Appraise the damage
Your insurer will examine your vehicle to appraise the damage and establish the cost of repairs. He may suggest a garage for the repairs. You may also choose your own.
Agree on a settlement
Your insurer will repair your car according to the terms and conditions under your policy.
Indemnity payment
Depending on the agreement, your insurer may indemnify you or reimburse the garage directly.

You will be compensated if you purchased coverage under Section B of your policy. Your insurer will indemnify you within 60 days following receipt of your request and the supporting documents. For a speedy claims settlement, make sure you have all the relevant documents handy.

The insurer will deduct the amount of the policy deductible from the compensation. A number of insurers offer no deductible coverage for hit and runs. Check it out!
