Types of Compensation Victims and Families May Pursue

Hit-and-run accidents are devastating, not only because of the emotional pain they cause but also because of the financial burdens they create. The loved ones of victims may be entitled to compensation to address these losses. Such damages can include costs for medical treatment, funeral expenses, lost wages, loss of companionship, and emotional pain and suffering.

Securing proper compensation ensures that families can focus on healing without being overwhelmed by financial stress. However, pursuing a claim can be daunting, especially during such a difficult time.
