Even though you do not know the identity of the party responsible for the injuries and damages that you have sustained, you are still entitled to compensation under your own insurance policy’s uninsured motorist provisions. Although your insurance company is obligated to fulfill its obligations in a hit and run accident, insurers frequently do not act with your best interests in mind. Our experienced Chicago hit and run auto accident attorneys have considerable experience dealing with insurance companies and we can effectively advocate on your behalf to obtain the money that you are owed.
What to do if you are the victim of a hit and run auto accident
