What’s Next?

If you’re wondering what to do if someone hits your parked car, the first thing you should look for is a note. If the driver left their information, be sure to gather the details of their insurance, personal information, and vehicle information. You'll also want to make a note of the time and the weather when this incident occurred for insurance purposes. However, if you’ve experienced a hit & run on a parked car, you can try to gather outside information and see if there were any bystanders or witnesses. If the hit & run on your parked car has no witness, the next step would be to inform law enforcement of the accident. This way, you can access security camera footage to find the vehicle that backed into your parked car. The next call of action to take is to contact your insurance company. Report the damages, additional information you’ve gathered, and file an insurance claim.
