Depending on the injured party’s and driver’s level of insurance coverage and policy limits, the person who was injured may have a right to recover benefits through no-fault protection and the injured pedestrian or bicyclist could have a claim to recover lost income and medical expense reimbursements.

A large number of severe injury and fatal bike accident and pedestrian knockdown incidences are the result of hit-and-run drivers. Since the driver’s identity is not known, a claim against the driver’s insurance company cannot be made in a hit-and-run accident. In this case, the injured party can receive benefits from his or her insurance policy under the uninsured motorist clause. This is also true if the driver at fault can be identified, but does not carry sufficient insurance coverage. In either case, we do not recommend that you negotiate with your or any insurance company. Insurance companies have their own expert negotiators who tend to want the injured party to settle for much less than is allowable.
