What you should do after a pedestrian hit-and-run
If a vehicle hits you, get medical care first and report the crash to police promptly. Write down anything you remember about the vehicle and its direction of travel. Ask nearby homes or businesses whether they have cameras, because video may be overwritten. This guide explains additional steps to take after a hit-and-run accident.
Keep your treatment records and proof of missed work. You can also learn more about evidence that may support an Indiana accident claim and how to obtain an Indiana crash report. Call your own insurer promptly because your policy may include coverage that applies when a driver leaves the scene.
Why the location and deadlines matter
The reported crash happened on Winslow Road in Bloomington, Monroe County, and the Bloomington Police Department investigated. A civil case is usually filed in the county where a crash happened or where a defendant lives.
Uninsured motorist coverage under Ind. Code 27-7-5-2 may help pedestrians and drivers hurt by a hit-and-run driver or a driver without enough insurance, depending on the policy and facts. Indiana divides fault under Ind. Code 34-51-2-6. An injured person whose fault is greater than 50 percent cannot recover; otherwise, the recovery is reduced by that person's percentage of fault.
Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. That period usually runs from the date of the crash, not the date of an arrest. A police report and criminal case do not, by themselves, determine civil liability.
