The car that hit me sped off. What should I do now?

If you are not able to identify the driver who hit you or the person responsible for your pedestrian accident injuries, you may face substantial difficulties in recovering compensation for your injuries and losses. As soon as possible, write down as detailed of a description as possible of the car or other vehicle that struck you. Information you may wish to include would be the color, make, and model of the car. If you are able to identify the approximate year of the vehicle, write this down as well. Note any distinguishing features such as bumper stickers and preexisting damage. Write down as much of the license plate number as you remember as well as the state from which the license plate was issued. If you were able to catch a glimpse of the driver, write down as detailed of a description of him or her as you can. Give this information to the police or local law enforcement. Because “hit and run” is a crime in most every jurisdiction, the police will likely want to find the car and the driver and apprehend him or her.
