Hit And Run

Boca Raton Hit and Run Accident Lawyer

The Florida Highway Patrol reports hit and run accidents in the state have reached epidemic levels, with 25 to 40 drivers fleeing accident scenes every day. That’s a shocking statistic that suggests hit and run accidents are commonplace in the state.

But if you’ve been involved in a hit and run accident, you know the impact of an accident is anything but routine. If you suffered an injury in the accident, you may be facing medical bills, lost wages, and non-monetary damages such as pain and suffering.

As devastating and stressful as a hit and run accident can be, you may still be able to obtain compensation for your damages. This quick guide will show you what you can do to recover physically and financially from a hit and run accident.

What to Do After a Hit and Run Accident

In the hours, days, and weeks following a hit and run accident, your health is your top priority. If you sustain an injury, go to the hospital immediately to receive professional medical care. Even if you aren’t sure if you are injured, it’s still important to receive care from a doctor as symptoms for many types of injuries do not always manifest immediately.

As soon as you are able, it’s also a good idea to consult a hit and run accident attorney for a review of your case. The experienced accident attorneys Demand the Limits can help you obtain compensation to recover damages suffered in the accident. These damages may include physical property damage, medical bills, lost income, reduced earning potential as well as emotional trauma and pain and suffering.

When you start working with us, we’ll get to work immediately investigating the accident and gathering as much evidence as possible. If you haven’t yet already, try to write down everything you can remember about the accident while your memory is fresh. What is the make, model and color of the car that struck you? Do you have a description of the driver or a license plate number? Any details you can remember might be instrumental in locating the driver.

How to Seek Compensation Following a Hit and Run Accident

Even if the driver is not located, it may be possible to obtain compensation through your own insurance company following Florida’s uninsured motorist laws. This type of insurance coverage may be applied to your hit and run accident. However, your insurance company may contest the claim or try to reduce the payout as much as they can.

That’s why it’s so important that you understand your insurance policy and consult a skilled hit and run attorney before attempting to negotiate a settlement with any insurance adjuster.
