I am an CA lawyer.  It sounds like there may not be coverage in the other vehicle at the time of the incident.  Since you have uninsured motorsit coverage, your husband is entitled to make a claim for his injuries.  If you had collision coverage (or Uninsured Motorist Property Damage coverage) you can make a claim for the damage to the car.   Be careful - there are some important rules that you most follow in any hit and run case.  You must file a police report within 24 hours.  You are also required to file a declaration with your insurance carrier within 30 days.  It is my experience that when there is an injury, the victim is better off consulting with and/or hiring a lawyer to represent him or her.  The victim will have an expert on their side guiding them through a very difficult process.  Remember, the insurance carrier wants to pay the least amount possible.  The carrier is are not interested in achieving a justice; the carrier is working for the shareholders to maximize profits.  AttorneyPages is filled with lawyers who will take your husband's case on a contigent fee.   I think that is your best course of action. 

You should definitely consult a lawyer.  Just reading your description of  the treatment your husband is getting for  his whiplash injury  indicates that he is not getting the treatment he needs for such a diagnosis.  Do yourself a favor and either email me or another attorney for some valuable advice!  actionlaw@yahoo.com
