What if the hit-and-run driver is never identified?

Your uninsured motorist coverage remains available, even if the at-fault driver is never identified. South Carolina law requires physical contact, but assuming this requirement is met, the failure to identify the fleeing driver does not eliminate your right to pursue compensation through your own policy. An auto accident attorney can guide you through the uninsured motorist claims process and ensure you receive the full coverage to which you are entitled under your policy.
