If you’ve watched the cop-footage show World’s Scariest Police Chases (and its
current incarnation, World’s Wildest
Police Videos), chances are you may have caught yourself staring in
disbelief at some particular segments. There’s always the possibility that what
you see on TV, such as hit and runs, will happen to you or someone you know.
How would you deal with such a scenario?
Hit-and-runs are normally classified as a crime
when the other party just drives off, but if you were left behind, it is best
not to chase after the car. Quickly jot down the vehicle’s make and model, as
well as its license plate number, then talk to eyewitnesses. As much as
possible, take pictures of the damage, then call your lawyer and insurance
provider about the problem.
