I had a hit and run accident just a while ago
I was driving on the main road . All of a sudden ,out of no where, a speeding car came out of a side street and sideswiped me,and vanished into thin air( disappeared fast) .my car spun out of control and ran into a tree by the road. Probably ,I had my head hit somewhere because I went unconscious.when I came about ,a paramedic was asking if I knew where I was.Needless to say that my car was ridden off( out of repair,totally wreck ,there is no way you can repair the car)
Luckily ,I had a two way insurance,and My Insurance covered the price of car fully
But,it was a hassle, here, when y got into a hit and run accident ,by law, you must report it to a local collosion center within 48 hours after the mishap.pass 48 hours, you can’t claim on everything.you must go through a tone of paper works before you see the green. If you ask what is with all the bureaucray officialls simply say ” It is a part of producer,and that they couldn’t do anything about it.”
Hiya
