How Hit-and-Run Accidents Affect Ohio Insurance Claims

News   October 13, 2025

As explained by Bankrate in their article “How Does a Hit-and-Run Affect Car Insurance in Ohio?”, leaving the scene of an accident without exchanging information is illegal in all states and carries severe penalties for drivers caught. For victims, the challenge lies in securing compensation when the at-fault driver flees. Fortunately, certain insurance coverages can help cover damages and medical expenses after a hit-and-run.

Victims are advised to prioritize medical care, call the police, gather evidence such as photos and witness accounts, and notify their insurance company promptly. These steps not only ensure safety but also strengthen the chances of a successful claim.
