thats what mommy and daddy get for giving their son a brand new truck while still in high school...

and he'll prolly go home and tell his parents "someone backed into me in the parking lot and took off"

and they, of course will buy him a new one.

GRR... hit and run

hit+run..... run em off the road...

i beg to differ, depending on youre tenure and reputation with the compony you work with, also the company it self, they will look at it and see what all possible scenarios are, they(insureance) all have special units that investigate any claim that you would use under you Uninsured motorists coverage which covers - hit and run, "phantom" driver, soverign immunity diplomatic immunity and unknown driver/vehcile.

Now the csr or claims rep and dept will look at the case and try to find any indication of fraud or false filing and fraudulent claims. If they can not find any indication of any of those they will run it by their dept guidelines and handle it accordingly.

Regardless of BI(bodily injury) they will still look at it, and if it is BI claim it will go through a seperate dept in most companies.

They only reason they are so strick about "hit and run" etc is becuase of the Frequency of fraudelent claims that have been occuring over the past years.

Running them down and stopping them then becomes a reasonable thing to do when you know the insurance company is betting against you. Phantom driver quickly turns into twit in handcuffs...

I do agree with your train of thought but i really dont think its so much as it that were betting against you, its more like were trying to protect you and us as the insurance company.
