If a hit-and-run driver injures you in Georgia, the first thing you should do is make sure that
you're safe and treat your injuries. Next thing you should do is try to make sure that law
enforcement makes a report or is aware that you are the victim of a hit-and-run driver.
After that, it could be really, really beneficial for you to hire a lawyer who has a good investigation
team to look into all the different facts that could be available to help identify who that
hit-and-run driver is. If you just can't find the hit-and-run driver, then you may want to
start thinking about insurance coverage that you might have on your own policy,
like medical payments coverage or uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
