A car accident lawyer in Las Cruces NM can provide you with legal representation if you sustained serious injuries in a collision caused by a hit-and-run driver. Although it is illegal to flee the scene of a crash, some people do it anyway. This often happens when a driver does not have a valid license, when a driver has clearly caused the accident through his negligence, or when the motorist was intoxicated at the time of the crash.
Regardless of the reason for the hit and run, police will investigate it. If the driver who caused you harm in a hit-and-run is found, you may be able to pursue a claim against them for compensation. You can file a personal injury lawsuit to seek monetary compensation for all of the damages the hit-and-run driver has caused you, including for medical expenditures, loss of income, and pain and suffering and other non-economic loss. You will want to speak with a car accident lawyer for help with your claim because you are going to need to prove that the hit-and-run driver was the one who caused your accident.
A hit-and-run driver sometimes does not have automobile insurance, which can make it difficult for you to collect compensation from him. If this is the case, a car accident lawyer can provide you with assistance in exploring other options for getting compensation including making an uninsured motorist claim.
