In an attempt to file a claim against the phantom motorist responsible for the collision, there are certain steps you must take immediately after the incident (if possible).

• First, document as much information as possible regarding the at-fault driver. What was the color of his car? What were the make and model? Did you happen to catch the license plate number? The more information you can provide to law enforcement and your attorney, the better your chances are of catching the perpetrator.
• However, if you cannot track down the phantom motorist, then you may still recover monetary damages from your own insurance provider. Under these circumstances, it is imperative to understand that insurance adjusters are looking out for their own best interests and will do whatever it takes to either reduce your overall claim, or flat-out deny it. With a skilled lawyer on your side, you can ensure that your rights are protected.
