Are You Eligible for Compensation?

In order for a hit-and-run accident victim to be eligible for compensation, the victim must actually have been hit by the vehicle. A near miss will not qualify the victim for compensation. Also, the driver who fled the scene must have been the driver who hit the victim. To find out more about North Carolina laws regarding hit-and-run accidents, contact us.

Options for Compensation

Many people believe that hit-and-run accident victims are not covered by insurance. In most cases, this is not true. If the accident victim had uninsured motorist coverage, this policy will cover the accident.

If the hit-and-run driver is eventually found, the accident victim may be eligible for punitive damages and the incident will be considered aggravated. This compensation, awarded to the accident victim, is intended to punish the hit-and-run driver.

Accident victims may also be eligible for compensation through a property damage claim if the identity of the driver is discovered. At Kelly & West, we will help you explore all options for compensation following your car accident, pedestrian accident, or other hit-and-run accident.
