# Nashville Hit and Run Attorneys
## Helping Hit-and-Run Accident Victims in Tennessee
If you or a loved one has been injured in a hit-and-run accident, you have
certain rights under state law. One of these is a right to pursue compensation
through a
 claim.
Founded in 2006, The Roth Firm, LLC advocates for hit-and-run accident
victims throughout Tennessee. We have former insurance defense attorneys
on our team, which means we know how the other side operates. This helps
us stay one step ahead of the opposition.
Our team only takes on a select number of cases at a time. When you choose
to work with us, you’ll be getting personalized care, attention,
and support. We do not collect any fees unless we win.

## What to Do After a Hit and Run
The initial steps after a hit and run will be similar to those after any
. Check for injuries, call 911 if needed, and call the police to report
the accident. The difference is that you won’t have the chance to
get the other party’s info. (Per law, if the other driver stops
but leaves without giving you their information, the accident is considered
a hit and run.)
**When you talk to the police to report the hit and run, try to tell them
everything you remember:**
* Make, model, and color of the car
* Description of the driver
* Which direction they fled in
* Whether any part of their car was damaged
* Any part of their license plate number you can remember
The sooner you report the accident to the police, the better. They may
be able to find the hit-and-run driver going off the info you provided.
But the longer you wait, the more time the hit-and-run driver has to hide
their vehicle, any damage to it, etc.
It is also a good idea to
 soon after the accident. At The Roth Firm, LLC, we can help you make sense
of your case and find compensation. That way, you won’t have to
take your attention away from healing.
## Compensation in a Hit-and-Run Accident
How much compensation you get for a hit and run will depend on your damages.
According to Tennessee law, victims can be compensated for any damages
directly caused by the accident.
**Some examples include:**
* Medical bills
* Lost wages, income, and benefits
* Property damage
* Pain and suffering
If your loved one was killed in a hit and run, you may be compensated for
 damages.
### Who Pays for a Hit and Run?
Hit-and-run accident claims are complicated by their defining trait: the
driver fled from the scene of the crash. Victims still have a right to
compensation, however—even if the driver is never caught. In these
cases, one of your insurance providers may be responsible for paying out
compensation.
**Hit-and-run accident victims may recover compensation through:**
* **Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage:** This coverage may be included in your auto insurance policy. The state
  does not require drivers to have UM coverage, so if you did not purchase
  it as part of your policy, then you will need to look somewhere else for
  compensation.
* **Health insurance:** If you were injured as a pedestrian and do not have any auto insurance
  with UM coverage, you may file a hit-and-run claim with your health insurance provider.
* **Another driver’s auto insurance:** If you were a passenger at the time of the accident, you may be compensated
  through the driver’s insurance. This may also apply if you were
  involved in a multi-vehicle collision, but one of the at-fault drivers
  fled the scene. In that case, you may request compensation from the remaining
  at-fault driver’s insurance.
If the hit-and-run driver is later caught by the police, you can file an
accident claim with their insurance provider.
