When any driver is involved in an accident, it is expected that they will remain at the scene of the crash until help arrives. However, if the driver who hit you fled the scene, you may be left feeling confused and worried about how you were going to get them to cover your costs.
Having a Norcross car accident lawyer at Kaine Law advocating for you could benefit your case. Our firm can attempt to locate the at-fault driver and explain your options for pursuing compensation. You do not have to fight for compensation alone when our law firm is on your side. We tailor our legal services to meet the specific needs of every client we represent.
Calculating the Value of Your Hit and Run Accident Damages
Your Norcross personal injury lawyer will be responsible for calculating the value of your case. We can work with law enforcement to try to identify the at-fault driver. We can also help you understand what your insurance policy covers. Through a claim with your insurance company, you could recover compensation that pays for your medical bills and damage to your vehicle.
If the at-fault driver is identified, you can file a lawsuit against them to recover damages. If they are insured, you could recover damages via an accident settlement. They may owe you compensation for:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and mental anguish
- Skin scarring and disfigurement
- Costs of vehicle repairs or replacement fees
- Current and future medical expenses related to your hit and run accident injuries
- Reduced quality of life
- Loss of consortium
- Shock, fear, anticipation, and apprehension
These are only a few of the different types of losses that could be recovered in a hit-and-run accident case. Your personal injury attorney will go over all of the ways you have been personally affected by your accident to ensure you are compensated fairly for your suffering.
There are Time Limitations That Affect Your Right to Financial Recovery
You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit, according to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. The same statute generally gives you two years from the date of a loved one’s demise to file your wrongful death lawsuit.
If your lawsuit is not filed on time, you risk being unable to file it at all. If you do manage to file your lawsuit after the expiration date, it may be dismissed without being heard. If either of these occurs, you will be left with no legal recourse to compel compensation.
The filing deadlines are a mandatory part of your case but can be difficult to comply with since it can fluctuate. The best way to understand the filing deadline and its impact on your case is to let our legal team handle it for you.
