Hit & Run Injury Lawyer
Hit and run accidents are unfortunately very common occurrences, as responsible parties try to escape liability. These accidents often involve pedestrians, bicycles, cars and other motor vehicles. You must report the accident to the police immediately.
It is important to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer without delay that is well versed with complicated litigation. Time is of the essence as there are things you are required to do under the Insurance Act within a very short timeframe and we would want to use our resources to conduct a thorough investigation to determine if the driver or vehicle owner can be identified
We get you immediate help
Even if the identity of the driver or vehicle owner cannot be determined, we can pursue compensation for you through your own car insurance company or the Motor Accident Claims Fund if you do not have access to any insurance. These benefits may include:
- Income Replacement Benefits – if you are unable to work
- Non-Earner Benefits – if you suffered a complete inability to return to normal life
- Medical and Rehabilitation Benefits – including chiropractic, psychological, physiotherapy services, medication, rehabilitative equipment, vocational training, home accessibility modifications and vehicle modifications
- Housekeeping and Home Maintenance Benefits – if you are catastrophically impaired
- Caregiver Benefits – if you are catastrophically impaired
- Other expenses – visitor expenses, funeral expenses, damaged items in the accident, and lost educational expenses.
Compensation is still available to you
We can also sue your insurance company under the appropriate coverage under your auto policy for:
- Pain and suffering damages (for loss of your enjoyment of life)
- Loss of future earnings (financial loss due to the inability to work, reduced earning capacity and loss of future opportunity)
- Future care costs (medical care, rehabilitation and other future costs including nursing or attendant care beyond what is available from accident benefits)
- Housekeeping and Homemaking Services
- Compensation for family members affected by your injuries (for cost of services you provided and the loss of care, guidance and companionship they have suffered)
