Dealing with the aftermath of a motor vehicle accident can be devastating under any circumstance. However, when a hit-and-run driver is involved in the accident, dealing with the aftermath can be even more stressful. Thankfully, you do have options to move forward after being injured in an accident that can help you recover financial compensation for the damages that you face.
First, it is important that you get the contact information of any witnesses to the accident. Secondly, you should take photos of the damage to your vehicle as well as any injuries you may have sustained. Finally, you will need to file a police report in order to obtain a copy of the accident report.
After you have gathered all of this evidence and information, you will need to find a Los Angeles car accident attorney who can help you with your claim. Your attorney will need to prove that the other driver was at fault for the accident and that you were not responsible. In addition, your attorney will need to demonstrate that you have suffered financial costs and losses as a result of the accident. This can include costs for medical care, repairs to your vehicle, and more.
Your attorney will be able to review your insurance policy and determine what options you have for moving forward. They will help you seek compensation from the hit-and-run driver if they are located, or they will aid you in filing a claim against your uninsured motorist policy. It is important that you act quickly to protect your legal rights.
