Being the victim of a hit-and-run can be overwhelming, especially when it involves a child. Pursuing legal action quickly can help secure compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation, and emotional distress. An attorney experienced in hit-and-run cases can guide families through the complex process of locating the responsible party, filing insurance claims, and ensuring evidence is preserved.
