Hit & Run Accidents
Posted By Mulvey Law on Nov 24, 2010 7:45am PST
Too frequently we read of hit & run accidents - the driver strikes a pedestrian and takes off or the driver forces a vehicle off the road and leaves the scene of the accident. If you are injured and have medical bills and lost wages, your losses may be recoverable from your motor vehicle insurance carrier. In New Hampshire, your car insurance policy contains both a Medical Payments provision and an Uninsured Motorist provision that may provide coverage for a recovery. The Medical Payments provision is payable if you are injured while in or on a motor vehicle. The Uninsured Motorist provision provides protection if the hit & run driver did something wrong that caused the car accident and injuries.
Hopefully, you or a loved one will never be involved in a hit & run motor vehicle accident. But, if you are, do not leave the scene without contacting the police to document the incident. You should review your insurance coverage with your agent or an experienced personal injury attorney to guarantee you and your family are adequately protected. In the event that you or a loved one are injured in a car accident, please contact us immediately so that we can help you obtain the maximum benefits for your injuries.
