If you have been in a serious traffic accident in Hialeah or Florida, you of course generally rely on insurance of the at-fault driver to pay for medical costs, car repairs, car rentals, and the many other expenses you will face. But what happens when the other driver either does not have car insurance or has insurance that does not cover the full cost of your losses? What happens if you are in a hit-and-run accident and cannot pursue the other driver’s insurance company?
In these cases, it is very important to consult with a personal injury attorney to explore all your options. You will need to take immediate, proactive steps to ensure that your interests are protected and to ensure that you do not have to pay tens of thousands of dollars or even more out-of-pocket due to another driver’s negligence.

What to do if You Have Been in a Car Accident in Hialeah With an Underinsured or Uninsured DriverIf you have been in a hit-and-run accident or an accident in which it becomes very apparent that the other driver does not have insurance or does not have adequate insurance, you will want to take steps right away in order to protect yourself. One of the first things you'll want to do is to exchange insurance information with the other driver if at all possible. You will also want to get immediate medical attention for yourself and anyone else who has been injured. Even if you think that you have not been seriously injured, a full medical assessment is important, since some injuries do not have obvious symptoms.
You also want to document any information about the crash. Take photos of the accident scene, note down any information that you can remember about the accident, and keep careful records of your expenses as well as any injuries or symptoms you suffer from. In addition, you will want to get legal help right away. Contact a personal injury attorney in your community to explore your options. They can help you with filing an insurance claim and with the other steps involved in your situation.
