Most Common Pedestrian Accident Misconception: You Need the Driver’s Contact Info to File an Insurance Claim
The number one misconception that people have in car-pedestrian accidents in Massachusetts is that if they don’t have the contact information of the person that hit them, or if that person does not have automobile insurance, then they can’t make a claim. That is not correct.
You Can File a Claim with Your Own Insurance Company
If you’re struck as a pedestrian by somebody who does not have insurance or has left the scene of the accident and you have your own automobile insurance coverage you can still make a claim against your own insurance policy for your lost wages, your medical bills, and your pain and suffering.
