How Our Sacramento Hit-and-Run Accident Attorneys Can Help
Pursuing financial recovery after a hit-and-run accident can be overwhelming, but a knowledgeable Sacramento personal injury lawyer can provide the support you need.
Here’s how our team at Omega Law Group can assist you in pursuing compensation for your injuries and damages.
Exploring Your Insurance Coverage
If authorities are unable to identify the hit-and-run driver, our lawyers will examine your insurance policy for uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. This type of coverage is designed to protect you in situations where the at-fault driver is unknown or does not have adequate insurance.
We will work with your insurance provider to ensure you receive the benefits you are entitled to under your UM policy. This can include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, helping you recover financially even when the responsible party cannot be found.
Filing a Lawsuit Against the At-Fault Driver
California is an at-fault state, which means that the driver responsible for the accident is liable for the damages incurred. In many cases, however, hit-and-run drivers may lack sufficient insurance coverage, often only meeting the minimum requirements mandated by law or lacking coverage completely.
If this is the case, our team will explore all available options to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. If the authorities successfully locate the hit-and-run driver, we can take immediate action by filing a personal injury lawsuit against them.
We will assess the driver’s insurance policy and determine the most appropriate legal strategy, whether through their insurance or a lawsuit.
Comprehensive Case Management
From gathering evidence and speaking with witnesses to reviewing police reports and medical records, our attorneys will manage all aspects of your case. We will ensure that every detail is documented and presented effectively, strengthening your compensation claim.
Additionally, we will handle all communications with insurance companies and opposing parties, allowing you to focus on your recovery without the stress of legal negotiations. Our goal is to advocate for your best interests and work diligently to secure the compensation you need.
Compensation Our Sacramento Hit-and-Run Accident Lawyers Can Pursue
The types of compensation available will depend on the specifics of your case, including the extent of your injuries and damages. Your potential damages also depend on whether you are filing a UM claim through your own provider or a claim or a lawsuit against the at-fault party if the police can identify them.
Either way, our hit-and-run accident lawyers in Sacramento will seek maximum compensation. Here are the potential forms of damages we may pursue:
Medical Expenses
You can seek compensation for immediate medical treatment costs, hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and any future medical care you may need. For example, many accident victims require ongoing rehabilitation or physical therapy to recover fully.
Our attorney will help document these expenses by consulting with your doctors and other medical experts.
Lost Income
If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. This includes not only the income you have missed during your recovery but also reduced earning capacity if your ability to work is permanently affected. Our lawyer will help calculate these losses to support your claim.
Pain and Suffering
Compensation for pain and suffering addresses the physical pain and emotional distress you endure as a result of the accident. Other non-economic damages include loss of quality of life and disability.
While these damages can be more challenging to quantify, our experienced attorney can help articulate the impact of your injuries on your daily life.
Property Damage
You can also seek compensation for property damage, such as vehicle repairs or the cost of replacement. You can also seek awards for any other personal property that suffered damage in the hit-and-run collision.
Our team at Omega Law Group is dedicated to helping you pursue the financial support you need to recover and rebuild your life after a hit-and-run accident.
