 1. COLLECT ALL POSSIBLE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR
THAT HIT YOU

If the driver speeds off before you can fully identify the person or vehicle, try to
record the following details right away:
 License plate number (full or partial)
Model of the car
 Color of the car
 Number of doors on the car
 A general appearance of the driver
SLIDESMANIA

Note if there were any passengers in the car.

 2. LOOK FOR
WITNESSES
Carefully look around for any possible witnesses to the
accident and ask for their names and contact information. If
possible, record or make notes about what they said about
they saw on the spot.

 3. LOOK FOR
SURVEILLANCE
CAMERAS

There is a strong possibility of finding the driver who hit

you, or at the very least, proving that you were hit by
another car. Looking for surveillance footage can be tedious
and overwhelming, but it can make the difference in your
case or claim.

 4. IF YOU WERE HIT
WHILE YOU CAR WAS
PARKED

Look for the same evidence if were hit while your car
was parked, and if you can’t find any, at the very least,
record the time you found the damage to your car, the time
you parked you car, the exact location of your car when it
was hit, and take pictures of the damage that was caused.
SLIDESMANIA
 5. MAKE SURE YOU CAN
PROVE IMPACT BY
ANOTHER VEHICLE

For example, if there was a witness who saw a car back

into your car but can’t remember the details of the car that
hit you, the fact that he or she saw a car impact yours is
enough evidence to prove you were impacted by another
vehicle, which is crucial when filing a claim.

 6. MAKE SURE YOU CAN
PROVE IMPACT BY
ANOTHER VEHICLE

In the event you’re hit by flying debris, such as

construction material from the back of a truck, or a hubcap,
you’ll want to clearly identify this type of damage with
photographic evidence and if you can, finding the object
that hit you.
SLIDESMANIA
 FILE A POLICE REPORT
RIGHT AWAY

Report the incident immediately to get an official accident report that

can help corroborate your story.

• Don’t chase the driver recklessly to avoid further more accident, instead
report to the police immediately and give the information about the
vehicle and incident.
• A police report can also help prove to your insurance company that you
are not attempting fraud and help you speed up the claim process.
SLIDESMANIA
 FILING A HIT AND RUN
CLAIM

• If you or an accident investigator are able to find the person and

vehicle that hit you, you can file a claim against that driver’s insurance
company right away.

• If you’re unable to identify the person who hit you, you’ll have to file
a claim with your own insurance company with as much evidence as
possible to prove the accident was not your fault and that it was a hit-
and-run.
