If you were injured in a hit-and-run accident in California, you’re likely facing significant medical bills while you’re out of work and may also be faced with long-term medical care needs. The injuries associated with the hit-and-run accident may seem overwhelming, which is why you must seek the assistance of an experienced hit-and-run accident lawyer as soon as possible. At Child & Jackson Personal Injury Lawyers, our hit-and-run accident lawyers can help you recover the compensation you’re owed from the negligent driver or your insurance provider. Our legal team will help you sort out the details and seek the compensation you’re owed, as soon as possible.
A hit-and-run accident occurs when one driver leaves the scene of an accident and doesn’t wait to exchange information with the other driver. When you’re involved in this type of collision, it can be devastating, especially if you suffer severe injuries that are preventing you from returning to work. When you hire a hit-and-run accident lawyer at Child & Jackson Personal Injury Lawyers, they can investigate the accident and work closely with law enforcement to identify the negligent driver. If the driver cannot be located, they can help you pursue compensation through your insurance provider if you have uninsured motorist coverage.
When a hit-and-run accident lawyer at Child & Jackson Personal Injury Lawyers gets involved, they can use their expertise and resources to investigate your accident and explore the possibility of securing compensation through an insurance settlement or personal injury lawsuit.
Your attorney can also work with your insurance provider to recover any uninsured motorist coverage you may have as part of your policy. Dealing with your insurance provider can be just as frustrating and complex as dealing with another driver’s insurance carrier. A hit-and-run accident lawyer on our legal team can help you handle this as well.

Your attorney can help you determine the best course of action moving forward, whether it’s filing an insurance claim with the other driver’s insurer, filing a lawsuit, or recovering compensation by filing a lawsuit with your insurance provider.
Recovering compensation after a hit-and-run accident can be difficult. First, if law enforcement arrests the at-fault driver and that motorist has insurance, the goal is to pursue compensation from their insurer.
If the driver does not have insurance, you may be able to recover compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit. However, this can also be very challenging. In many cases, if a driver does not have auto insurance, it’s not very likely that they will have the financial means to pay the award if your case is successful in court.
If you are unable to identify the other driver or the driver did not have auto insurance, you can file a claim with your insurance provider if you have uninsured motorist coverage.
After a hit-and-run auto accident, the damages you’re entitled to will depend on the circumstances of your case. Your attorney will review your case to determine which damages you should pursue and the value of those damages.
An accident victim may be entitled to:

The injuries suffered in a hit-and-run accident can range from mild to severe. At Child & Jackson Personal Injury Lawyers, our legal team has handled cases that have included the following types of accident injuries:
In California, accident victims will have two years from the date of the collision to file a lawsuit. If you fail to file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations your case may be barred from court. This means that you will be unable to pursue compensation for any of your accident-related losses.
At Child & Jackson Personal Injury Lawyers, our legal team works on a contingency fee basis. With this payment arrangement, there are no upfront costs, which allows accident victims to obtain legal representation as soon as possible following a collision. If your case is not successful, you will pay nothing. If you do win a settlement or award, your attorney will subtract a small percentage of your settlement or award to cover the cost of legal services. At Child & Jackson, we understand the importance of accident victims obtaining experienced, skilled legal representation as soon as possible after an accident that was not their fault.
