Is It Useful to Report a Hit-and-Run After Being Rear-Ended?

[SanAngelo]

Reporting a hit-and-run after being rear-ended is useful. If a party involved in a traffic accident flees the scene, the fleeing party will bear full responsibility. However, if there is evidence proving the other party also had fault, the responsibility can be reduced. If a party intentionally damages, falsifies the scene, or destroys evidence, they must bear full responsibility. On-site Procedures After Being Rear-Ended: In the event of a rear-end collision on the road, the driver should immediately stop the vehicle and protect the scene. If a vehicle involved in a traffic accident flees the scene, eyewitnesses and other informed individuals should report to the traffic management department of the public security authority or traffic police. After the accident, the hazard warning lights should remain on, and warning signs should be set up in the direction of oncoming traffic to increase the warning distance. If necessary, call the police promptly. If there are personal injuries, the driver should immediately rescue the injured and quickly report to the on-duty traffic police or the traffic management department of the public security authority. Compensation Procedures After Being Rear-Ended: After being rear-ended, the traffic police will issue a traffic accident liability determination, and compensation will be based on this document. If the accident determines that the rear-ending vehicle is fully at fault, you can use the determination document, repair cost invoices, and the accident liability determination issued by the police to directly claim compensation from the other party's insurance company. A rear-end collision can cause personal injuries and property damage. Compensation for a rear-end collision generally includes medical expenses, lost wages, hospitalization meal subsidies, nursing fees, disability living subsidies, disability equipment costs, funeral expenses, death compensation, dependent living expenses, transportation costs, accommodation fees, and direct property losses.
