We’re proud of the comments our past clients have shared about our legal services and the results we’ve obtained. However, we always caution prospective clients that every case has its own unique set of facts and past results are not predictive of the outcome of future cases.

Yes, police may pursue criminal charges against the hit-and-run driver. But a criminal conviction won’t provide compensation or payment of medical bills. The accident victim will need to file a separate civil lawsuit seeking compensation from the hit-and-run driver and the driver’s liability insurance. The hit-and-run driver and his or her insurer may be held financially liable for injuries caused in the hit-and-run accident. It is important for the accident victim to have legal representation by an experienced Columbia personal injury lawyer to pursue full compensation.

South Carolina requires motorists to carry uninsured motorist coverage to protect you if you are struck by a motorist who doesn’t have insurance or who flees the scene. You will need to notify your insurance company of the accident, if you haven’t already, and file a claim with your own insurance. You may have to pay a deductible, but your insurance should cover your losses. Your insurance company may decide to go after the uninsured motorist to recover its payout. If your medical bills are significant, it’s a good idea to consult with a car accident lawyer. The insurance adjuster for your insurance company may try to offer you a settlement that doesn’t cover the full extent of your losses. A lawyer can advocate on your behalf.
