How to Claim Compensation After a Fatal Pedestrian Hit-and-Run Accident
Losing a loved one in a hit-and-run accident is devastating, but families may still have the right to pursue compensation through a wrongful death claim. Skilled wrongful death attorneys can guide you through the process and help secure justice for your family.
Because these cases involve both a pedestrian fatality and a fleeing driver, it’s critical to work with experienced pedestrian accident attorneys and hit and run accident attorneys. They can investigate the collision, identify available insurance coverage, and determine whether the at-fault driver can be located. Even if the driver is not found, compensation may still be available through uninsured motorist coverage or other legal options.
Compensation in a fatal hit-and-run pedestrian accident can cover funeral expenses, medical bills, loss of income, and emotional suffering. Since multiple insurance companies may be involved, having an experienced Los Angeles car accident attorney on your side ensures your rights are protected.
