Frequently Asked Questions for Palm Beach Accident Lawyers

 

Q: I was in a Florida hit-and-run accident. What do I do now?

A: If you have been injured in a Florida hit-and-run crash, you need to call the police. They will want to know everything you can remember about the vehicle that hit you or your car, such as the license plate number, make, model, year, color, and a description of the driver.

This type of Florida car accident makes it very difficult to recover damages from the other driver, as they are often not found and charged for the damages. If the police are unable to identify the driver, or if the other driver does not have insurance, you should be covered by your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage.

If you have been seriously injured in a Florida hit-and-run accident, you need to contact a Palm Beach accident attorney at Fetterman & Associates today. We can help you recover damages from the other driver, or if the other driver has not been identified, we will ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve from your Florida UM coverage.
