Could a settlement come from a hit and run if the other person pulled over then drove off without checking to see if we were safe?

Your question does not supply many details. It is not clear whether or not the other driver was ever identified. It is not clear who owns the car in which you were a passenger. It is not clear if there was any property damage to the car or any personal injury to you or the driver of the car in which you were a passenger. You should contact an attorney to collect these details, explore your options and counsel you. Many attorneys will give you a free consultation for this. Do not wait too long because there is usually a time limit by which you must file suit. Best Wishes!
