The first thing to do is contact the police and get a police report. Because the person that hit you has no insurance, you need to report the accident to your insurance company. Your policy should have uninsured coverage and that coverage would cover you for medical and liability if you are injured. You would need to go under your policy to have your car fixed and pay your deductible. Your insurance company will then litigate for all moneys spent and try to recover from the uninsured party. They will also try to recover your deductible. Each state is different and you will need to discuss with your insurance agent.
then it turns into a legal matter where the person who didnt have insurance gets sued for losses and medical expenses
Sue him.A bit more:If the person who hit you doesn't have enough insurance to cover the damages to your vehicle, then your insurance should cover the balance of the costs if you have full coverage and not just liability insurance.
whut if you were in a bus accident and the bus didnt get the insurance information
After a hit and run, the individual hit should file a police report as soon as possible. That police report should then be presented to the person's insurance company who will assess the damages to the vehicle.
It should. But it's much easier to collect if you have your own insurance.
If what person is driving the person that was hit or the person that hit?
The other person pays.
You each walk away with nothing - your only recourse is to take the person who hit you to court and sue for damages. However, chances are if that person has no insurance, they have no job, and thus no income which to pay you the damages should the court award in your favor.
You uninsured motorist coverage, if you have it should handle the gap. Otherwise, you can sue the driver that hit you for the difference.
If you provided the insurance company with details of the person who hit you and they were able to recover from them then you should not be penalized at all for the accident.
Typically the person who hit you pays. If they don't have insurance, your no fault insurance will pay for it.
Simply, call the police!
