How do I claim compensation for a hit-and-run accident with an unidentified vehicle from the Fondo Vittime della Strada?
When injured in a hit-and-run accident by an unidentified or uninsured vehicle, compensation is guaranteed by the Fondo di Garanzia per le Vittime della Strada (FGVS), managed by CONSAP and territorial designated insurance companies (compagnie designate) under Article 283 of D.Lgs. 209/2005. Immediate filing of a criminal police report (querela/denuncia contro ignoti) is mandatory to establish evidence of unidentifiability. The FGVS covers 100% of physical personal injuries and covers material property damages if serious physical injuries occur exceeding the statutory percentage deductible. Public Guarantee Authority: Fondo di Garanzia per le Vittime della Strada (CONSAP) and D.Lgs. 209/2005 (Art. 283 Private Insurance Code).
