Who Is Responsible if I Am Injured in a Hit-And-Run Pedestrian Accident?

So, in hit and run cases if the driver cannot be identified or located, you may still have several options for compensation. It’ll just be a little bit more tricky.

Your own auto insurance policy, specifically uninsured motorist coverage, can apply to an accident where you were a pedestrian and you were struck by a vehicle. Additionally, Massachusetts has a fund for victims of uninsured drivers that also might provide some type of coverage for your injuries.

If you live with any family members who have auto insurance, their uninsured motorist coverage can also cover you in an accident.

The key in this is to report the accident to police immediately so that there is some type of trace back to the accident and contact an attorney to explore all your options in situations like this, because it could be a little bit tricky and a little bit daunting to do on your own.
