a hit and run insurance law can also lead to consequences and costs. In the event of an accident, your insurer for a fair settlement of claims a legitimate interest, investigate those accidents completely. As a policyholder, you have to contribute to accident information, so you are bound by an obligation to inform. This education requirement expressed in the fact that the policyholder after the occurrence of the accident has the obligation to do everything that could to investigate the matter and to minimize the damage to be useful.
The Federal Court held that this duty of disclosure will be violated if they flee from the scene. With the realization hit and run by § 142 of the Penal Code "as a reflex" also simultaneously violated the intelligence interest of the insurer (BGH VersR 2000 p. 222). The same also when a definite liability situation.

insurance
Even if you have taken out insurance (partial or fully comprehensive), you need to adjust the damage to your own vehicle itself, because the insurance is not required in case of a hit and run, to pay the costs incurred (OLG Nürnberg, Case No.: 8 U 2561/96).
