If the police and your attorney can help uncover the at-fault driver who fled the scene, you can file a claim this way. However, if the driver is not identified, you have to consider other options. <strong>This includes filing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">With your policy\u2019s uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">With other aspects of your policy, such as collision coverage, medical payments coverage, and comprehensive coverage<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">An insurance claim against other at-fault drivers<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">A civil or insurance claim with third parties, like a product manufacturer, a road maintenance governmental agency, or a mechanic who performed faulty vehicle maintenance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You must always report the accident after it happens, as a police report made by the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Louisiana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Louisiana<\/a> State Police, Parish Sheriff\u2019s Office, or city police department is a key foundational piece of evidence in your case. Without this report, it can be a lot harder to prove that the accident happened and that your injuries were tied to the crash.<\/p>\n<p>When you work with a skilled attorney, they can help you take the right steps and determine how you can file for compensation. They can assess your damages, negotiate with insurers, and take your claim to court if needed. An attorney also helps with the investigation into finding the at-fault party. All of this support helps your claim and also lets you recover, while you can be certain your claim is in good hands.<\/p>\n<section style=\"background-color: #f3f4f4; padding: 20px 10px; text-align: center;\">\n<div style=\"max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; width: 90%;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif; font-size: 46px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 61.18px; color: #0e2c4d; margin-bottom: 10px;\">Meet Our Attorney<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f3f4f4; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 4px; box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: center;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 200px; height: 270px; border-radius: 0; object-fit: cover; margin: 4px 15px 4px 4px; flex: 0 0 auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.murphylawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hm-attrny-murphy-img-one.webp\" alt=\"Peyton Murphy\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; text-align: center; min-width: 180px; padding: 4px;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif; font-size: 46px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 61.18px; color: #a15127; margin-bottom: 8px;\">Peyton Murphy<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Onest-Regular', sans-serif; font-size: 19px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 34.2px; color: #000000; margin-bottom: 10px;\">Peyton Murphy, a Louisiana lawyer with 30+ years of experience, specializes in personal injury cases.

Call 911 and report the accident, the fleeing driver, and any injuries you have. As you wait, document the scene through photo and video. Get medical care when emergency responders arrive, and provide a police report when asked. Report the accident to your insurance company, but do not provide a statement.

Insurance claims, such as those with your insurance company or another driver if they are identified, should be filed quickly. If you are filing a civil claim, this has its own unique deadline called the statute of limitations or liberative prescription that you have to file by.
