You May Have More Options Than You Think After a Car AccidentIf you have been in a hit and run car or pedestrian accident, you may have many legal claim options:
- You may be able to negotiate with your insurance provider if you have underinsured or uninsured driver coverage. You can also work with a personal injury attorney in Deerfield Beach or your community in order to secure compensation from your insurance company.
- You may be able to launch a premises liability claim if the accident took place on private property and the property owner was negligent in preventing accidents and injuries.
- You may be able to launch an investigation or work with police or a private investigator in order to find the at-fault driver and pressed criminal charges or launch a lawsuit.
- You may be able to find other liable parties in your accident and launch a legal claim. For example, you may have a wrongful death claim if someone was fatally injured in the accident. You may have a products liability claim if a product defect in your own vehicle contributed to the accident. Seeking compensation from multiple liable parties can increase chances that you get fair compensation for your injuries.
To find out whether any of these options are possible in your case, contact a personal injury attorney to review the specifics of your situation. Your attorney may be able to find other options to help you, as well.
