In a hit-and-skip accident, pursuing financial compensation for losses can be challenging until you determine who that party is. However, your uninsured motorist coverage could help cover the losses in some cases. Expect insurance companies to fight about these types of claims, making working with a motorcycle accident attorney critical in most situations.

Officer Required Surgery

In this situation, the officer, who was not initially named by police, was rushed to the hospital. He required surgery to repair his leg, which was broken in two locations. There is no word on how well the officer’s injuries are improving. However, the driver was found and arrested on suspicion of being under the influence.
