What if I was injured in a car accident but the other driver left the scene?

If you were injured in a car accident and the other driver left the scene, you may have legal options in Wisconsin. First, you may be able to file a claim with your own automobile insurance company, and the insurance company will attempt to locate and hold the at-fault driver accountable. Next, you may be able to file a claim with the Wisconsin Uninsured Motorists Fund. The Fund will pay for your medical bills and other costs associated with the accident, but only up to a certain maximum. For more severe cases, you may need to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver. You’ll need to be able to prove who was at fault and the extent of your injuries. You may need to talk to witnesses and/or hire an attorney to help you build your case. Finally, even if the driver can’t be located, you should still file a police report in order to document the accident. This may help to support any insurance claim you make and/or any lawsuit you bring in the future.
