Unfortunately, hit and run accidents are something that we encounter all too often. If this happens to you, this does not mean your claim disappears with the driver who fled the scene. All Massachusetts drivers are required to carry Uninsured Motorist coverage on their automobile insurance policy, and in a hit and run situation, we will simply make the claim through your own insurance company. People are often concerned that making such a claim will have an adverse affect on their future insurance rates, but this is simply not the case. Being the victim of a hit and run, where the other person was at fault, will not cause your insurance rates to increase. If you have been the victim of a hit and run, call the experienced attorneys at Altman & Altman, where we have handled hundreds of these cases.
