If you were involved in a car accident in Cleveland, Ohio, then there are some things that you will want to complete as soon as possible.  First, make sure you file a police report if one was not filed at the scene.  If this is a hit-skip accident, then you will need to speak to Cleveland Police Hit-Skip Department.  The phone number listed on the City of Cleveland’s website is 216-623-5085.  Once you have determined the other driver’s insurance coverage, you will need to call the insurance company and file a claim to get the process started.  However, this can be very complicated and we recommend you speak to an attorney to discuss this process.  You can quickly message our firm by completing the form to the right.  One of our lawyers will contact you to discuss this matter further.
