As explained by Bankrate in their article “What to Do After a Hit-and-Run in Ohio,” being involved in a hit-and-run accident is not only traumatic but also legally complex. While the article is Ohio-specific, the general advice holds true across many states—including New York. Law enforcement universally advises against chasing the fleeing driver. Instead, staying at the scene and following proper protocol is essential to protect your safety and strengthen your legal case.

• Gather Evidence
  
• Locate Witnesses
  
• Notify Your Insurance Company
