We diligently prepare and research every case as if for trial and, as a result, have been very successful in helping our clients to obtain the compensation they deserve

Important facts

In pedestrian-vehicle accidents or hit and run cases, insurance coverage issues are important. In general, when a pedestrian is struck by a motor vehicle, they are deemed full-tort — regardless of whether they carry full-tort coverage on their auto insurance or not.

However, in hit and run cases where the driver and vehicle are never identified, pedestrians and the drivers and passengers of other vehicles must fall back on their own auto insurance policies if they hope to collect benefits based on the uninsured and underinsured motorists' coverage they have purchased.

If a pedestrian has no auto insurance policy of their own, they may still be eligible to collect benefits under the Pennsylvania Assigned Claims Plan. Pedestrians injured by bicyclists may be able to collect damages under homeowners' policies.

Absolutely no risk

When we say "no recovery — no fees or costs," we mean just that. If our lawyers are unable to obtain a judgment or settlement in your case, you owe us nothing.
