What to Do If Your Car Gets Hit in the Community and the Other Party Flees?

[OVictoria]

First, estimate the extent of your loss and make a judgment based on the severity of the damage. Try to handle it as quickly as possible—time is money. For minor scratches, you can resolve it yourself without going through formal procedures. Call the traffic police and your insurance company. If the estimated loss exceeds what you can bear, call the police. As long as you were not parked illegally, the other party will be fully at fault. Check surveillance footage to identify the perpetrator. If there are no witnesses or surveillance cameras nearby, calling the traffic police won’t help, and the resolution may not be proactive. In such cases, you can negotiate a solution with your insurance company.
