Victims of Hit and Run Motorists May Still Have Insurance Available to Them
Even when a person is struck by a driver who leaves the scene, as long as the person struck has uninsured motorist coverage on his or her own car, or another person in the victim’s home has uninsured motorist insurance, the victim is typically covered by that insurance policy. Please give me a call if you have a question regarding insurance coverage for this type of claim. An experienced attorney can help victims and their families recover compensation for damages and may be able to help protect the rights of those tragically killed by hit-and-run drivers.
