Your Trusted Personal Injury Lawyers in Waterford, CT
Anytime you are struck by a car, you can suffer serious injuries, which can lead to costly medical bills and other unexpected expenses. Fortunately, you can usually look to the insurance company of the at-fault driver to get the financial compensation you need.
If you do not know the identity of the driver who struck you because they fled the scene, it can lead to questions about what happens next. Recovering compensation in hit-and-run car accidents in New London can be challenging, but the assistance of a skilled and experienced local car accident attorney can make a difference for your claim.
The easiest way to ensure that you get the compensation you need is to find the responsible party who fled from the scene. Our dedicated local legal team could help you track down the at-fault driver. Our attorneys have extensive experience performing in-depth investigations of New London hit-and-run accidents. We know how to review traffic camera and video surveillance footage to look for critical information, such as the color, make, and model of the car.
We could also interview eyewitnesses and bystanders to learn what they observed. If they know the color and what kind of car struck you, we could try to find it by calling local repair shops. It would be helpful if you or a witness were able to remember or get a picture of the license plate of the vehicle that struck you.
Even if you are only able to remember a small part of the plate numbers, that can help the police identify the driver. Even if the police and other law enforcement officials have been unsuccessful in their search, our determined local legal team could review the evidence and work closely with accident reconstruction specialists to search for the at-fault driver.
If, after our exhaustive investigative efforts, you are still unable to find the negligent motorist, our attorneys could help you seek an alternate path to getting the compensation you deserve. You might be able to obtain the money you need by filing a claim with your own insurance company. State law requires motorists to carry uninsured motorist coverage. This type of coverage protects drivers when they are in accidents with drivers who either have no insurance or who flee the scene.
Although you should notify your insurance company about the hit-and-run accident as soon as possible after it occurs in New London, you should consult with our experienced attorneys before settling your insurance claim. Our attorneys could help you gather all the documents and other information you might need about the accident and your injuries in order to maximize your recovery for potential damages. Our skilled lawyers could help you file the claim and negotiate with your insurance company for a fair settlement that covers all current and any possible future losses that you might suffer from the accident.
Hit-and-run car accidents in New London can lead to devastating injuries, along with confusion.
