You might be at a loss about what to do after a hit-and-run. If you’ve been involved in an accident, it’s essential to know what steps to take to protect your rights and seek the compensation you deserve. After a hit-and-run incident, the first priority is to ensure your safety and the safety of others involved. Once you’ve ensured everyone’s well-being, follow these crucial steps:
In Alberta, it is mandatory for all drivers to carry a minimum level of auto insurance coverage. If the driver involved in an accident is not insured, it can complicate matters when seeking compensation.
In such cases, you may still have options available. You can pursue a claim through your insurance company if you have uninsured motorist coverage, which protects against uninsured drivers. Additionally, you may be eligible to seek compensation through the Alberta government’s Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Program (MVAC).
Consulting with a personal injury lawyer from Zhivov Law can help you understand your rights and navigate the legal process to pursue the compensation you deserve in accordance with Alberta laws.

Prioritize your safety and the safety of others involved. Call emergency services and report the incident to the police. Try to gather as much information as possible about the fleeing vehicle, such as its make, model, colour, and license plate number. Also, collect contact information from any witnesses.
It is advisable to seek medical attention as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. A healthcare professional can assess your condition and document any injuries, which may be important for insurance claims or legal proceedings.
A personal injury lawyer can guide you through the legal process, investigate the incident, gather evidence, communicate with insurance companies, and advocate on your behalf.
