What happens if you are hit by a drunk driver and do not call the cops?

First of all you may not be able to get your car fixed by insurance company because no police report was filed. Secondly this individual will continue driving in this condition unlil he gets caught and may kill someone before he is stopped from driving. You should have reported him immediately for the betterment of society. This will not cause you any trouble with the law but you may be without a car for a while if he did a lot of damage to it.

The drunk driver will feel like he just won the lottery.

With my luck, the drunk would convince the cops that I RAN INTO HIM.

This has happened to people that didn't call the police when they had an accident.

you might die. but if you survive and no authorities are alerted then nothing...you might be scarred for life but nothing else. but why would you want to do that? wouldn't you want to bring justice to that person

with out a police report, you are up a creek with no paddle. i would get a lawyer if it is something pretty major (death, totalled car, etc..)

You lose any rights you may have had regarding repairs of your car, and medical bills for yourself. Your insurance company will not pay for your claims, as there is no documentation of when the accident occurred.

insurance companies require police reports. so if you dont call them then you arent too bright and you will incur all the financial responsibilities

Depends on the extent of the injuries. It should be reported unless it can be resolved between the two parties...
