Accidents happen in Rockledge. When a driver flees the scene, however, they show a willful negligence that puts the victim at personal and financial risk. Whether or not we identify the liable driver, you may get a financial recovery for your losses.
You may be wondering whether to seek compensation through an insurance claim, file a lawsuit, or take other action. A Rockledge hit and run accident lawyer from Andrew Pickett Law can form and execute a case strategy for you.
How a Hit and Run Accident Lawyer from Andrew Pickett Law Can Help You
A lawyer can provide a clear course of action during a chaotic time. You won’t have to figure things out for yourself—we will help, using our experience to make sense of your hit and run accident.
We can:
- Explore your insurance policy: Per the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), you don’t haveto purchase uninsured motorist coverage. However, you might have. Our team will review your insurance policy to determine which coverage types you do or don’t have.
- Work with law enforcement: We will contact law enforcement to find out if the identity of the liable driver is known. Whether or not the hit and run motorist has been apprehended may affect our case strategy.
- Collect evidence to use in your case: A lawyer from our team will waste no time gathering evidence for your hit and run case in Rockledge. Certain evidence may only be available for a short period of time. Footage of the accident may be particularly time sensitive. We’ll collect and preserve any evidence that could be of use.
- Interview witnesses: When there are only the words of a plaintiff and defendant (or victim and insurance company), cases can sometimes feel like a he-said, she-said affair. When independent witnesses with no dog in the fight speak, however, they may lend credibility to your case. We’ll get accounts from any witnesses who can support your case.
- Hire experts: Like witnesses, experts can add depth to your case. Experts may testify, reconstruct an accident, or help in other ways.
- Explore settlement options: A hit and run accident lawyer from our firm will negotiate for you. We may obtain settlement offers from an insurance company or the driver who caused your accident.
- File a lawsuit, circumstances permitting: If we can identify the liable motorist, then we may file a lawsuit. We’ll discuss such options when we review your case.
When you hire us, you’ll know that your rights are safe. Insurance companies and attorneys for the hit and run driver may try to undermine your case in Rockledge. A hit and run accident lawyer from Andrew Pickett Law will block any such attempts.
