What to Do After a Hit and Run Accident

If you are in an accident, stop, move your car out of the way of traffic, and call 911. When the other driver fails to stop, there are several things you can do in that moment to get the help and legal protection from a Los Angeles hit and run lawyer that you need:

• Do not follow the driver, but use your phone to record anything you can. Try to record the driver’s actions, license plate, or other identifying information.
• If you cannot use your phone at that moment, look at the driver and vehicle. Make a mental note of the vehicle type and the driver’s appearance.
• Call 911 and get medical care and law enforcement to your location. Provide a description of the vehicle that fled the scene to the dispatcher so police can begin searching for it as they approach your location.
• Document as much as you can at the scene. That includes taking photos of the surrounding area and the damage to your vehicle. Later, cameras in these areas may help you identify the at-fault party.
• Get medical care right away. Victims who seek medical care take steps to document their injuries. This ensures that later, there is no question about what caused them.

Follow up with the medical care you need. You will need to provide a formal police report that outlines your injuries and losses, as well as everything you remember from the accident.

Allow police to seek out the other driver and investigate. But, it is also time to contact our hit and run car accident lawyer in Los Angeles for guidance.

How Our Los Angeles Hit and Run Accident Attorney Will Help You

When you contact our hit and run accident attorney in Los Angeles, we can begin gathering evidence and investigating your case. Many times, the police will determine who is at fault for your injuries through their investigation. Even if they do not do so, we will continue to pursue that party.

Our team will:

• Investigate the accident fully. We investigate videos, seek witnesses, and conduct thorough research to identify the at-fault driver whenever possible. Expect our legal team to advise you on this process.
• Determine your losses. We will discuss all of your losses with you, documenting your injuries and the impact on your life. Our medical experts are your advocates in demonstrating your losses.
• File a claim with the insurance company. California law requires all drivers to maintain uninsured motorist coverage. When you are unsure of who the at-fault driver is, we will pursue a claim under this policy.
• Negotiate fair compensation for yourself. Our legal team is aggressive, and since we create evidence-based claims, we will hold the insurance company accountable for the losses you have.
• Get ready to go to court when necessary. Though rare, our trial-experienced legal team will pursue a lawsuit when necessary.

In situations where we determine the identity of the at-fault driver, we will file a claim for compensation against the appropriate liability insurance company and pursue legal action against them to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Let the Los Angeles personal injury lawyer at Triumph Law handle the legal process on your behalf.

Damages Owed in a Hit and Run Accident

With the guidance of our hit and run accident lawyer in Los Angeles, you will file a claim that maximizes the compensation paid to you. We will investigate all aspects of your case to document your losses, including both economic and non-economic damages you have as a result of the accident.

Your case may include compensation such as:

• Medical costs from the incident onward
• Loss of wages for missed time at work
• Loss of earning capacity if you have serious or long-term injuries and cannot go back to work
• Property damage to repair or replace your vehicle
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of quality of life
• Loss of consortium
• Emotional trauma and mental anguish

In every situation, expect our legal team to be aggressive in outlining the value of your losses. This includes looking into the future implications your injuries may cause to you. With a lawyer by your side, you know we are going to fight tirelessly for you.

Seek Legal Action Within the Statute of Limitations

Victims of serious accidents need to act quickly. The California deadlines to sue someone provide you with two years from the date your accident occurred to seek a lawsuit against those who caused it. This means you only have two years to find the party, know your losses, and try to settle out of court.

Our hit and run car accident lawyers will identify any exemptions you may have to this rule if the two-year mark is approaching. If you’re unsure whether you can still take action, please give us a call. Let us take a closer look.

If you wait too long to file a claim, the court will not take your case. That means we have no way to hold the at-fault party accountable. With the guidance of our legal team, you can close your case in your favor long before this and outside of the courtroom.
