A North Huntingdon Hit and Run May Entitle You to Damages

There are two ways you could get a settlement for a hit and run. The first involves filing a claim with your own insurance company. Depending on the terms of your policy, you could receive money for:

• The cost of receiving medical care
• The cost of repairing a damage vehicle
• The cost of replacing a totaled vehicle

Supplemental auto policies can help you get additional compensation, but you must have an active policy for it to apply.

Filing a Lawsuit After a Hit and Run Crash

Can our North Huntingdon hit and run accident lawyer sue the at-fault driver for your injuries? If the police manage to track down the driver who hit you, then yes. In a case like this, we can seek financial damages for a wide range of losses. In addition to medical and property damage expenses, you could ask for money for:

• Physical pain and discomfort from your inuuries
• Emotional and mental distress
• Reduced quality of life, including loss of independence
• Disabling injuries, including both temporary and permanent disabilities
• Scar tissue that causes disfigurement or disability

What Goes Into Building a Hit and Run Case in North Huntingdon?

You may already suspect that filing a legal case is a complicated affair, and it very often is. However, you personally do not need to worry about dealing with any legal task. At Berger and Green, our personal injury lawyers have the experience and the knowledge to handle cases like yours with compassion and confidence.

We Start by Investigating Your Hit and Run

Our efforts can determine the worth of your case and, with any luck, help us identify the reckless driver. We can seek evidence by:

• Requesting documentation, photos, and video from anyone who might have relevant information
• Speaking directly with you, witnesses to the crash, and the hit and run driver (if we can find them)
• Talking with experts who might be able to shed light on your case or confirm what other parties have said

We Work Closely With Our Car Accident Clients

It can be a big relief to hire a firm like ours that is capable of taking care of all the legal matters you cannot or do not want to deal with. At the same time, does hiring an attorney mean giving up control over your case? Not with Berger and Green. Here is how we help our clients each and every day:

• We create and implement a legal strategy that aligns with the client’s preferences, needs, and goals
• We make sure our clients understand and know how to act on their rights by taking the time to answer their questions at all stages of their case
• We ensure that the other parties involved in the case respect our clients and treat them with the dignity they deserve
• We represent and speak up for our clients in all necessary settings, from the negotiating table to the courtroom

We Can File Your North Huntingdon Case in Time

Pennsylvania residents have a limited time to file a personal injury case, according to Pa. C.S.A. § 5524. If a client comes to us early enough, our team can ensure that all of the paperwork gets sent out and filed well before the two-year deadline expires. This will keep your case running smoothly so there is no delay in your receiving money.

If you do not meet this deadline, you could miss your opportunity to sue for damages, and you may not get anything from the other party. Additionally, acting quickly allows us to start our investigation while the evidence is still fresh and available.

Call Berger and Green today for a free consultation. We are eager to learn about your case and begin strategizing with you.

The Types of Hit and Run Accidents That Can Happen in Pennsylvania

You probably already have a general idea of what a hit and run accident is: a collision in which a driver causes damage and then flees the scene without leaving their contact information or trying to help the person they hit.

This definition is accurate, but it does not discuss the specific kinds of hit and run accidents that can occur—and that you can seek compensation for. These include:

Hit and Runs Involving Fatal Injuries

If your loved one passed away because of a hit and run crash, you may qualify for a wrongful death suit. In this situation, we can help your family file your case within the deadline (also two years, the same as for personal injury cases) and pursue a unique set of damages, including:

• Loss of companionship
• Funeral expenses
• Loss of financial support

Hit and Runs Involving Pedestrians

In this type of accident, another driver hits you as you are walking down the street. As a result, you do not lose any property (since you were not in your car), but you may suffer even more serious bodily injuries, because you had no protection at all when the car hit you. You therefore still deserve compensation.

No matter what damages you suffered or how they happened, Berger and Green can bring sympathy, experience, and competence to your case.
