Pedestrian Injured in Sacramento Hit-and-Run
A pedestrian was injured in a Sacramento hit-and-run recently in a residential area. The collision happened shortly after 11:00 a.m. on Lerwick Road between West Country Club Lane and Morse Avenue. Authorities might have identified the house where the suspect was, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). A search by the CHP traffic collision division will be seeking the fleeing driver and determining how the accident happened.
Tracking Down the Fugitive Driver in a Sacramento Hit-and-Run
In the event that you have suffered a pedestrian injury caused by a fleeing motorist, an attorney may be able to locate the driver and hold them accountable. It is painful and difficult to be injured, to face high medical bills, and to be unable to work. Injuries caused by a negligent motorist should be compensated by that driver. We have successfully located Sacramento hit-and-run drivers in accidents involving pedestrians over the years, as it is our law firm’s mission.
- A traffic surveillance camera may have captured live footage of an accident. For the purpose of identifying the driver who fled, a subpoena can be issued to obtain the film. In addition, nearby businesses or homes can be checked for surveillance cameras.
- It is also possible to obtain information from witnesses. Some witnesses may remember the license plate number from watching the accident unfold or recognize the driver.
- Using accident reconstruction, it can be seen how the Sacramento hit-and-run happened. Insurers and courts accept this type of evidence.
Based on this compiled information, our accident attorneys can assist our clients in building a successful compensation claim.
Insurance Coverage Provides Compensation
If the other party cannot pay for your damages following an auto accident or can’t be located, your uninsured/underinsured policy may cover your medical expenses. In addition to protecting you as a driver, a passenger or a bicyclist, this add-on insurance covers you as a pedestrian. In the event that you don’t choose to take out this coverage and a member of your immediate family carries it, theirs can be used instead. Neither the policy rates nor the coverage are changed.
Insurer Claims Settlement by Arbitration
When you cannot agree with the insurance company on the amount, a lawyer can represent you in arbitration. Injury lawyers who commonly deal with insurance companies will be able to assist you in receiving a fair settlement.
