Hit and Run Accidents
Hit and run accident victims often believe that there is no legal recourse, but you may still be able to recover substantial compensation for your injuries. Our Jefferson City accident attorneys will thoroughly investigate your accident, and we may be able to identify and locate the driver who hurt you, even if police have given up. If the driver cannot be found, you may still be able to recover from your own insurance company if you have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage.
If a defective vehicle or roadway contributed to your accident or injuries, we will pursue the appropriate avenues of compensation so that you can recover all of the money you are entitled to.
A motor vehicle accident changes your life forever. Fair compensation can lift the financial burden from you and your family now and in the years to come.
