When a Negligent Driver Leaves the Scene of an Accident
While responsible drivers can control their actions on the roads, they cannot control the actions of others. Unfortunately, many responsible drivers each year are injured in accidents caused by people driving without insurance or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Many more are injured in accidents caused by people motivated to flee the scene of a crash — people facing warrants for their arrest, illegal immigrants, and others wishing to avoid financial responsibility for the harm they cause.
If you have been injured in a hit and run accident or have been the victim of a pedestrian knockdown, you do have options. The attorneys at the law offices of Friedman, Domiano & Smith can help you. Our goal is to pursue maximum compensation for the victims of car accidents, truck accidents and motorcycle accidents.
When we take a motor vehicle accident case, we begin by exploring all possible options. While a hit and run accident may mean that no negligent driver can be located to hold accountable, accident victims may be able to find compensation through their own insurance companies.
UM/UIM Coverage
In hit and run accidents, our client's uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage are usually an important factor in our client's eventual compensation. We encourage everyone to purchase as much UM/UIM coverage as they can reasonably afford.
We Offer a Free Insurance Analysis. Call Us at 866-636-8367.
At Friedman, Domiano & Smith, we look to coverage in your own insurance policy when a negligent driver causes an accident — your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage might cover the cost of damages.
Part of our complete investigation also includes discovering whether or not dangerous road conditions were to blame for a personal injury. By exploring all of your options, we can be certain that we are taking a course of action most likely to help you achieve positive results.
