If the police can find the driver of the other vehicle, his or her insurance company is responsible for paying for your damages. Unfortunately, many people leave the scene of an accident because they are uninsured. In this case, you may have to turn to your own insurance to pay for your losses.
Both Kansas and Missouri require insurance companies to provide uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) with your auto insurance. UM/UIM coverage pays damages from hit-and-run accidents. In Kansas, you are also covered by personal injury protection (PIP), which is a part of your no-fault insurance.
While your coverage may pay for your damages, it is in your interest to discuss your case with an experienced auto accident attorney before accepting any settlement. Insurance companies strive to pay the minimum possible compensation, and without an attorney, you may have little leverage in negotiating a favorable settlement.
Our lawyers work tirelessly to maximize your recovery from all sources of insurance. We can also help you avoid mistakes that could cause your insurance company to deny your claim.
