Usually yes. When the driver was working at the time of the crash, the trucking company is generally responsible for the driver's negligence, and company practices like maintenance and scheduling may also be at issue.

It may. Depending on your policy, uninsured motorist, collision, medical payments, or other coverage may apply after a hit-and-run.

Yes. Some symptoms may take hours or days to appear, especially when a child is scared, tired, or too young to explain what they feel.

No. You do not have to accept the first offer, and early offers are often lower than the claim may be worth.

A police report is often important after a hit-and-run because it documents that the other driver left and may be required for insurance or DMV reporting.

Yes. Insurance companies look closely at the timeline after a crash — a long gap between the accident and your first visit lets them argue you were not badly hurt or that your injuries came from something else. Seek care as soon as symptoms appear.
