Oftentimes, in road rage incidents, the person that caused the crash leaves the scene. If you got the license plate number of the person who caused the incident, then of course, report that information to the police. However, people often don’t get the license plate number and cannot identify the person who caused the crash. If you are injured by someone who leaves the scene of the crash, you could have a claim against your own insurance company's uninsured motorist coverage. Again, this is why you have to be careful when you are involved in such case and you probably should contact an attorney right away if you feel that you are injured as a result of the road rage incident.
The most important thing to always do, when you are involved in a road rage incident, is to call the police.
We have handled several road rage incidents here in the off here in my office, so feel free to contact me if you were a victim of such a crash. It is a shame that these crashes happen, but unfortunately, it is a sign of the times and the result of so much distracted driving occurring these days.
