Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I was forced off the road by another vehicle which did not stop. There was no contact between my car and his. Can I make an uninsured motorist claim for a hit-and-run accident?
A:
The answer to whether you can make an uninsured motorist claim for a hit-and-run accident when there is no actual contact between the vehicle depends on the language of the provisions of the uninsured motorist coverage in your car insurance policy. Illinois law allows insurance carriers to require actual contact between the vehicles as a condition for making an uninsured motorist claim based on a hit-and-run accident, and most policies require this. However, not all do, so if you were involved in an Illinois car accident where you forced off the road by another driver who left the scene of the car accident, but there was no actual contact between the vehicles, it is probably worth having an experienced Chicago personal injury lawyer look at the uninsured motorist coverage language in your auto insurance policy.
