Your Options for Compensation After a Hit and Run in Missouri

When you are involved in a hit and run accident in Missouri, do not panic—even if you cannot identify the driver, you have avenues to seek compensation. First, if the driver who caused the accident is caught, you can file a lawsuit or insurance claim against them to cover your damages. However, if they are not caught, you can file a claim with your uninsured motorist policy.

Missouri law mandates that all drivers maintain liability insurance, which includes uninsured motorist coverage. Drivers must carry at least $25,000 for bodily injury per person and $50,000 per accident; you can purchase higher amounts of coverage if you wish. With this insurance policy, you can receive protection even if you cannot identify the at-fault driver.
