Unidentified Driver / Hit and Run

Clark was driving on Glenmore Trail during Friday rush hour with his wife and two kids when traffic slowed. As he brought his vehicle to a stop, a sudden impact from behind shook the truck. His family reacted in shock and fear as Clark felt the jolt of whiplash.

After ensuring his family was safe, Clark got out to inspect the damage. A young woman emerged from the beat-up SUV behind him, surrounded by marijuana smoke and smelling strongly of alcohol. “Why did you stop so fast?” she said. Clark asked for her license, registration, and insurance, then turned to retrieve his own documents. As he leaned into his vehicle, he heard the squeal of tires. The woman took off down Glenmore Trail in the Shoulder lane. Trapped by rush-hour traffic, Clark could not catch her.

Within days, Clark contacted Resolute Law Group, who guided him through the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund’s strict timeline for claims against unknown drivers. Resolute Law Group quickly advertised for witnesses who might identify the vehicle or driver, but none came forward. Acting swiftly, the firm ensured that the Fund provided Clark and his family with compensation that was, as the Fund put it, “on the high side of fair.”

If you have been injured in a collision where the other driver fled the scene, you still have options for compensation. However, your timeline is extremely short you must notify the Fund within 90 days of the collision, or your claim may be barred forever.
