If the culprit of the accident fled the scene of the accident, a number of actions must be taken; The first of these is to file a complaint with the State Traffic Inspectorate. In this respect reports “Behind the Wheel”, referring to lawyer Sergei Smirnov.
“Based on your application, traffic police must initiate an administrative investigation. Within the scope of the initiated lawsuit, the circumstances of the incident must be determined, the damage caused to the vehicles involved in the collision must be recorded, and the participants in the incident must be identified. During the investigation, traffic police officers identified and identified the fleeing driver,” Smirnov said.
According to the lawyer, if you are not at fault for the collision, you will be recognized as the victim. Then you need to wait for the traffic police to send the case to the court and for a decision to bring the culprit of the accident to administrative responsibility.
After that, you will be able to receive a copy of the decision, with which you can contact the insurance company to make payment under compulsory car insurance.
If the culprit of the accident does not have a motor vehicle policy, a claim for compensation will need to be made to him. To do this, you need to undergo an independent inspection and get an estimate of the cost of car repairs. Or get a work order from a car service center to repair your car.
