A hit-and-run accident can leave you shaken, injured, and unsure of what to do next — especially when the at-fault driver disappears without a trace. In Michigan, you still have options to pursue compensation even when the other driver is unknown.
Always seek medical care immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Then, report the accident to the police. A formal report is essential for insurance and legal purposes.
Michigan is a no-fault state, so your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage should cover medical bills, wage loss, and replacement services regardless of fault — including hit-and-runs.
If the at-fault driver is never found, your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage can step in to compensate for pain and suffering, future medical treatment, or permanent injury.
Insurance companies may try to minimize or deny your claim. A personal injury attorney ensures your rights are protected and negotiates aggressively for the settlement you deserve.
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Michigan is typically three years, but claims involving UM coverage can have much shorter deadlines. Act fast.
