Charlotte Hit-and-Run Accident Lawyers
North Carolina Attorneys - Leaving the Scene of an Accident
A hit-and-run accident may leave another motorist, bicyclist or pedestrian severely injured. These situations are often complicated by the fact that the negligent driver fled the scene and may still be unknown. Victims and their families are often wondering what their rights are and how they are going to deal with the losses that have been incurred as the result of the hit-and-run.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of a hit-and-run, our attorneys can help. We at Charles G. Monnett, III & Associates in Charlotte, North Carolina, have years of experience handling all types of car accident cases, including hit-and-runs. Our lawyers understand that these types of accidents often leave the victim feeling powerless and confused about his or her rights. We are committed to helping clients pursue compensation from the negligent and often criminally liable individual who hit their vehicle, or their person, and fled the scene.
Drivers who leave the scene of an accident after hitting something or someone usually are fleeing out of fear. They are afraid that they are in trouble and that something will happen to them. They are mostly right. We are aggressive in our pursuit of any driver who fled the scene after many different types of accidents such as:
Uninsured Motorist Claims
After a hit-and-run, it may be possible to have your losses and medical expenses covered by a type of insurance policy called uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. Underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage may be part of your own insurance policy, if selected, and may provide compensation for some of the property damages, along with medical bills, that you have incurred as a result of the hit-and-run, up to the limits of the policy.
Fatal Hit-and-Runs
Unfortunately, a hit-and-run may be fatal. Our firm handles wrongful death cases that may stem from a hit-and-run, working closely with surviving family members to see that justice is served. We can also provide criminal prosecutors with information on the case if they are moving forward with vehicular homicide charges or other criminal charges against the hit-and-run driver.
