I was the victim of a driver who fled the scene of the accident. The police have no idea who the individual was. May I claim compensation?

In a situation such as yours, you may have the right to ask for accident benefits from your own insurance company. Those benefits may be available as part of your uninsured motorist coverage or as part of any personal injury protection/medical payments coverage you purchased.

Always remember that when you are dealing with an insurance company, it is best to have an attorney represent you. With an attorney, there is less chance the insurance company will attempt to diminish or dismiss your claim.
