Many do. A pedestrian hit and run is also an uninsured motorist claim, for example. We handle the full picture, so you do not need to sort out the categories yourself. Just tell us what happened.
The core path is similar: when the driver flees, uninsured motorist coverage usually provides compensation. The injuries, evidence, and liable parties differ by case type, which is why each practice area has its own page.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee across all of our practice areas, so you pay no attorney fee unless we recover compensation. The consultation is free.
