Hit-and-Run Accidents in Georgia
Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime in Georgia (O.C.G.A. § 40-6-270), but that doesn’t stop thousands of drivers from fleeing each year. Hit-and-run accidents leave victims with injuries, vehicle damage, and no obvious at-fault driver to hold accountable. The good news is that Georgia law provides multiple paths to compensation even when the at-fault driver is never identified.
Georgia requires all auto insurers to offer uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, which applies to hit-and-run situations where the at-fault driver cannot be identified. If you carry UM coverage, you can file a claim against your own insurance company up to your policy limits. Georgia Auto Law also investigates every available avenue — surveillance cameras, traffic cameras, witness accounts, and physical evidence — to identify the fleeing driver.
Recovering Compensation After a Hit-and-Run
Your primary recovery path after a hit-and-run is your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Georgia Auto Law files UM claims on behalf of hit-and-run victims and negotiates aggressively with your own insurer, who has the same financial incentive to minimize your claim as any other insurance company.
If the at-fault driver is identified — through our investigation, police work, or witness tips — we pursue that driver’s liability insurance directly. We also look for additional responsible parties: employers of the fleeing driver, commercial vehicle operators, and in some cases, government entities responsible for dangerous road conditions that contributed to the accident.
