A: There is no proof that an Uber driver hit your car, or that s/he was working for Uber at the time of the collision. If you have UM or collision insurance, make a claim with them.

A: THE POLICE SHOULD TRY TO CONTACT UBER (OR YOU CAN) TO DESCRIBE CAR, LOCATION AND TIME.

HIT AND RUN IS A CRIME AND I WOULD THINK THE POLICE WOULD INVESTIGATE ON THEIR NICKEL AND NOT HAVE YOU DO SO.........BUT REPORT TO UBER ASAP

A: You can make a police report as a hit and run car accident with as much description as you can provide and then report it to your auto insurance company if you have UM coverage on your policy.

A: If your carrier covered the loss for you, and the other vehicle is ultimately identified, your carrier could pursue the amount paid to you from the other vehicle.
