2012-01-02

DALLAS, TX, January 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) Any type of car or truck accident can leave you with serious injuries and thousands of dollars in property damage. Under normal circumstances, the negligent driver can be held responsible and proper compensation can be sought either through insurance or a personal injury lawsuit. To seek compensation, there has to be a source of revenue. When you are involved in a hit and run, common sources of revenue are eliminated, leaving you with the full damages of your accident.

When you report a hit and run accident, the police will conduct an investigation in an attempt to find the other driver. A hit and run is a criminal offense and can be punishable with fines and jail time. However, even with witness testimony and a police investigation, there is no guarantee that the other driver will be found. This can make seeking compensation for your injuries particularly difficult.

Hit and Run Accidents and Your Insurance

If you have comprehensive insurance, you may be able to file a claim with your own insurance company. Filing a claim with your insurance company will require a police report, medical records, invoices from auto repair shops, and pictures of the scene of your accident. Even with this information, you may find filing a claim to be more complex than you had imagined.

Insurance companies, even those you diligently pay every month, are much more interested in protecting their profits than providing you with compensation. You may be surprised to find that your insurance company tries to make your claim incredibly difficult. You may also find that, in the end, the settlement they offer you is inadequate to cover all of your damages. This is why you need an aggressive car accident attorney on your side as soon as possible following your accident.

Your attorney will be an invaluable resource in your attempt to collect compensation. Staring with your initial claim and going all the way through litigation if necessary, your attorney will be dedicated to getting you maximum compensation for your damages. Without an attorney, you are left to the mercy of an industry that has proven time and again its willingness to sacrifice customers for profit. With an attorney on your side, you can ensure you are treated fairly and given the compensation you will require to fully recover from your accident.

If you have been the victim of a hit and run in or around Dallas, Texas, please visit the website of the experienced car accident attorneys at PowleskiLaw, P.C. for more information on how we can help you get the full compensation you deserve.
