Legal Representation for Hit and Run Accident Victims
Pedestrian and Car Accidents in North and South Carolina
Leaving the scene of a car accident is illegal. If the hit and run driver is ever caught, he or she will probably face criminal prosecution. However, for the hit and run accident victim, the more pressing question is: If I don't know the identity of the driver, where will I get financial compensation from for my medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering?
North Carolina laws are very specific with regard to the civil legal rights of hit and run victims. If you have been the victim of a hit and run accident, you may wish to seek legal advice from experienced car accident attorneys in order to make sure you get access to fair and full financial compensation.

Compensation for Hit and Run Accident Victims
In North Carolina, compensation after a hit and run accident depends on several factors. Without assistance from a knowledgeable and protective advocate, you run the risk of accepting a financial settlement that does not fully meet your needs.
After a hit and run accident, your attorney will pursue the following avenues, among others:
- Assisting the police with their inquiries and search for the hit and run driver
- Compensation for property damage to your vehicle via your own uninsured/underinsured motorist policy
- Compensation for unpaid medical bills via the personal injury portion of your uninsured motorist policy
- A civil wrongful death lawsuit in the event of a fatal hit and run accident
