In a 2012 report created by the Department of Transportation,\u00a0 over 900 hit and run accidents in Alaska in 2009, many of which resulted in serious injuries.\u00a0\u00a0 http:\/\/www.dot.alaska.gov\/.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Hit and run\" refers to leaving the scene of an accident.\u00a0\u00a0 When a driver is involved in an accident, whether the driver is at fault or not, he has a duty to stop and render aid to any injured parties and also to exchange information regarding his identity and insurance.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Failing to do so is a crime.\u00a0 If someone is injured or killed in the accident, leaving the scene is a felony whether or not the driver caused the accident.\u00a0 If caught, the driver faces jail time and revocation of his driving privileges.<\/p>\n

But what about the victim?<\/p>\n

If the victim has automobile insurance with uninsured motorists coverage, she will be able to make a claim under her policy for medical bills, lost wages, disabilities and pain and suffering.\u00a0 If she has medical payments benefits under her automobile insurance policy, she will be able to draw upon those.<\/p>\n

If the driver is found, she will be able to make a claim against his insurance.<\/p>\n

If the driver is prosecuted, then she can request restitution for her insured costs.\u00a0 The request should be made through the prosecutor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

Additionally, benefits and services are available to the hit and run victim from the State of Alaska, Violent Crimes Compensation Board because hit and runs has been classified as\u00a0 a violent crime.\u00a0 http:\/\/doa.alaska.gov\/vccb\/policy\/hit_run.html<\/span><\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 Applications are available on-line at their website.<\/p>\n
