What Added Legal Steps Are in Hit-and-Run Cases in Nahant, MA

Hit-and-run cases add an extra layer of difficulty because the driver responsible isn't immediately known, which can delay how a claim moves forward. 

When the responsible driver hasn't been found, a person should report the crash to police as soon as possible, seek medical attention even for minor injuries, and document everything from the scene, including any nearby cameras or witnesses who may have seen the vehicle leave. From there, the claims process usually shifts toward the victim's own auto policy rather than waiting on the other driver to be identified. 

In these situations, a Massachusetts bicycle accident lawyer can help explore options like uninsured motorist coverage, which is designed to step in when the at-fault driver is never found or doesn't carry insurance. Massachusetts law also allows time for a driver to be identified later, so a delayed claim isn't necessarily out of reach. 

Being struck by a driver who doesn't stop can leave a family with more questions than answers. If you or a loved one has been involved in a hit-and-run crash in Massachusetts, our team at Fiorentino Legal, P.C. is available to talk through what options may exist in a situation like this.
