If you've been hit by a car and didn't get any insurance information, it's important to take the following five steps:
- Call the police: If you've been in an accident, it's always a good idea to call the police. They will create a report that documents what happened and may be able to obtain insurance information from the other driver.
- Seek medical attention: Even if you don't feel like you've been injured, it's still important to seek medical attention. Some injuries may not show up right away and it's important to document any injuries you have.
- Document the accident: Take pictures of the accident scene, including any damage to your vehicle and the other vehicle involved. Also, get the contact information of any witnesses to the accident.
- Contact your own insurance company: Even if you don't have the other driver's insurance information, you can still file a claim with your own insurance company. They may be able to help you obtain the other driver's insurance information and can start the claims process.
- Contact a personal injury attorney: If you were injured in the accident, it's important to speak with a personal injury attorney. They can help you understand your legal options and may be able to help you obtain compensation for your injuries and damages.
