Quick answer
Report appropriately and investigate uninsured-motorist or other available coverage promptly.
Do now
Record any plate, description, witnesses, camera locations, and police report information. Notify your insurer and ask about required notices and proofs. Seek advice before concluding there is no possible source of recovery.
Watch for
Policies and statutory programs can impose special conditions and deadlines. Do not delay reporting while trying to identify the driver yourself, and do not confront a suspected driver.
