The other driver fled the scene. Can I still be compensated?
Hit-and-run victims often assume there's no one to claim against.

Official Answer
Often yes — your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage typically applies to hit-and-run injuries. Report to police promptly (some coverages require it), preserve dashcam footage, and canvass nearby businesses for camera views of the plate. The productive window for this evidence is short.
