What if I was injured in a car accident but the other driver was never identified?

In Oklahoma, if you are injured in a car accident but the other driver is never identified, you may still be able to seek compensation for your injuries. The first step would be to file a claim with your own insurance company, as they may provide coverage for an accident involving an “uninsured/underinsured motorist.” This type of claim will ensure you are still compensated for any medical costs and other losses you may have incurred. If you do not have this type of coverage, or you have exhausted those funds, you may be eligible to make a claim with the Uninsured Motorist Fund, which is a fund set up by the state of Oklahoma to provide compensation for people injured by an uninsured driver. In order to qualify, you must be able to prove that you have no other way of obtaining compensation. This could include (but is not limited to) presenting police reports and other evidence that the other driver was at fault, or that the other driver was never identified. Ultimately, the best way to protect yourself from an uninsured driver is by ensuring you have the proper insurance coverage. While you can still seek compensation if the other driver is never identified, the process can be lengthy and complicated. Be sure to work with your insurance provider to make sure you have the necessary coverage to protect you in the event of any accident.
