What if I’m involved in an accident with someone who does not have insurance?

If you suffer personal injury in an accident with a hit-and-run driver, you may be wondering who pays for your medical expenses. In Virginia, insurers are required by law to include extra coverage for accidents involving underinsured or uninsured drivers.

What steps should I take immediately following an accident?

Trucking, car and motorcycle accidents can cause serious trauma. If you have been injured, you may have difficulty gathering your thoughts. Knowing in advance what to do after an accident can help you make good decisions. Immediately following a motor vehicle, you should try to remain calm and then take the following steps:

  • Contact emergency services — Your top priority must be your health. Even if you think you have sustained only a minor injury, you should go to the hospital.
  • See a doctor — Following your release from the hospital, you should visit your doctor. Have the full extent of your injuries diagnosed and be sure to follow your doctor’s orders.
  • Contact a lawyer — Next, consider building a legal case. If you suspect a negligent party caused your accident, an attorney can help you obtain just compensation.
