If you have collision coverage on your car insurance you can have your car repaired by our own insurance company, subject to your deductible. Depending on the state if you are carrying uninsured motorists property damage the coverage may be used to repair your vehicle too, often at a deductible of $200-$300. Check your declarations page for an outline of your coverages, and refer to your policy contract for the details on your uninsured motorists property damage coverage.
The fact driver B left the scene does not change that driver A is at fault (there are exceptions to driver A being at fault)Additional: While Driver A may have been the striking vehicle, Driver B MAY be at fault for "Changing Lanes Without Caution." Regardless of the circumstances of the collision itself, Driver B can be charged with "Leaving the Scene of an Accident."
The driver at fault is liable for the collision, regardless of the other driver's actions post-collision. The fleeing driver may later be brought up on Hit and Run or Leaving the Scene of an Accident charges, but that will not change the at fault liability.
Who committed the crime is usually unknown in a crime scene and has to be proven with evidence.
This is a term used to describe when someone hits another driver and leaves the scene of the accident. In this case the only option you have is to file a claim on your own uninsured motorists coverage assuming that you have such coverage.
If your in Ontario: The driver of the car that rear end another vehicle is always liable both criminally and civily. In your scenario, the driver left the scene of the accident, this is known as failing to remain and is a criminal offence in Canada. If the car was abandoned, you can bet it was probably stolen. Stolen vehicles are not subject to the registered owners insurance. Basically your insurance coverage will provide for your vehicle. And the dealerships insurance will cover damages done to the dealerships vehicle. Now...if the driver of that vehicle is found he would be charged with the above, and in addition you can file a lawsuit against him for any injuries. (your insurance company will definitely sue the driver to recoup there losses for the vehicle damages) If the vehicle was not stolen, but being test driven ( you have a really stupid driver) then the dealerships insurance will cover the damages. However, your insurance company will front the bill for damages and get reimbursed by the dealerships insurance company pending the result of a police investigation. This is known as no fault insurance. Other provinces in Canada have there own laws regarding insurance and liabilities. The same with the U.S.A. KeVin Toronto
No. The driver of the car that threw the rock has no way of knowing that his car caused the accident.
No, if you were negligent, and 'at fault' you still are, however, if they leave the scene doesn't sound like you will have to fix their vehicle, but you could still have a 'chargeable' accident on your policy.
That depends on your insurance coverage. If you have collision coverage, your insurance will cover your damages. If do not have that coverage and don't have the other vehicle license plate, unfortunately, you're stuck with all the bills.
Wow. An attorney really should know better. They could be facingdisbarmentif they fled the scene.How did you know it was an attorney who hit you if they fled the scene?
Unknown, but the Hunters wrote a scene.
You prey that the other driver doesn't find out that even though he was not insured, you and your insurance co. are still liable for all damages. You still need to report the accident to your insurance co, though.
Accidents involving uninsured or underinsured drivers are most likely to involve innocent insureds, as the other driver may not have sufficient insurance coverage to fully compensate for damages. Additionally, hit-and-run accidents can also involve innocent insureds, where the at-fault driver flees the scene of the accident.
