Hit and Run Accident Attorney

Woodland Hills Hit and Run Accident Attorney

Experienced Lawyers Providing Representation in San Fernando Valley & Woodland Hills

Woodland Hills “Hit and Run” Accidents

Woodland Hills Hit and Run Accident Attorney

Imagine that you and your family are hit by a speeding vehicle and the negligent driver of that vehicle does not stop to acknowledge his fault and exchange insurance information. It happens all too often in Southern California. “Hit and Run” accidents are rampant in Woodland Hills!  Maybe the negligent driver is drunk, or is driving without a valid California Driver’s License, or has no valid liability insurance policy. Maybe the negligent driver is just too scared to stop and suffer the consequences. In these situations, your Uninsured Motorist Policy will protect you.

It is important that you have a lawyer that knows how to properly document such accidents to qualify for Uninsured Motorist Coverage. There must be actual “contact” with the hit and run vehicle. The accident must be reported to the proper police department, in most cases within 24 hours. Because the insurers often suspect fraud, it is critical to supply maximum information and cooperate with the police department investigation and the insurance company investigation. Many less experienced attorneys miss an important step or opportunity to legitimize the “hit and run” claim to the detriment of their clients.

Woodland Hills Pedestrian Accident Attorney

California Uninsured Motorist policies will cover you even when you are hit outside or away from your vehicle. Many auto v. pedestrian victims do not realize that they have such coverage. Because the injuries from such accidents are often serious, the Uninsured and Underinsured motorist limits in your policy can be a vital component in leading to your full recovery.

Woodland Hills Bicycle Accident Attorney

California Uninsured Motorist policies will cover you even when you are riding your bicycle. Many auto v. bicycle victims do not realize that they have such coverage. Because the injuries from such accidents are often serious, the Uninsured and Underinsured motorist limits in your policy can be a vital component in leading to your full recovery. The Injury Law Professionals regularly counsel bike riders to carry the maximum Uninsured Motorist coverage they can afford because bicyclists are routinely exposed to dangerous traffic flow and are relatively unprotected against serious injury.

Underinsured Motorist Coverage Also Applies When You Are Hit Away From Your Vehicle

Needless to say, “hit and run”, pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents can pose the greatest risk of serious injuries. Therefore, the application of your Uninsured Motorist policy limits to protect you from “underinsured” motorists is more important than ever in these situations. It is important to remember, you do not have to be “using” a motor vehicle (or any vehicle for that matter) to be eligible for uninsured motorist benefits. You can be a pedestrian, bicyclist, skateboarder, or just minding your own business, as long as the injury was caused by a motorist. In addition, all the benefits of the arbitration process are available and often work to maximize your recovery.

Can an Attorney Help Me Seek Compensation for Medical Bills After Being Hit By a Car?

A good hit and run accident attorney, like Barry P. Goldberg in Woodland Hills, understands that many people travel on foot either for leisure, exercise, to get to work, or run errands. The one major threat to safety that every pedestrian should watch out for are drivers who are not being responsible behind the wheel. It can be difficult to imagine something scarier than being hit by a car as a pedestrian. You may see a car coming your way or get hit unexpectedly. Either way, the injuries a pedestrian may suffer is likely to be both painful and expensive.

A pedestrian who was hit by a car may also find themselves in severe financial hardship, after trying to pay off medical bills related to the accident injuries. When meeting with a Woodland Hills hit and run accident attorney about filing a lawsuit against the driver at-fault, the pedestrian may ask questions similar to the following:

What can I do if I can’t pay my medical bills?

A victim of a pedestrian accident may want to consider filing a civil lawsuit for compensation. Even if you can pay for medical expenses out of your own pocket, you really shouldn’t have to since it was someone else’s fault for what happened. Depending on the damages the victim suffered, he or she may be entitled to financial compensation for the following:

 

  • Medical bills including costs for treatment, diagnostics, hospitalization, surgery, medication, x-rays, laboratory testing, etc.
  • Loss of pay due to being out of work for recovery, rehabilitation, or doctor appointments
  • Pain and suffering
  • Costs for vehicle and/or home modifications
  • Loss of companionship and consortium for the surviving family, if the pedestrian passed away due to the accident

 

What kind of evidence should I bring forward related to the accident?

If 911 was called after you got hit by the car, then the officer who arrived at the scene likely took a report of what happened. You can probably obtain a copy of this at your local law enforcement office. This document in addition to photographs of the scene or your injuries, medical evaluations, and witness statements can be used as evidence in your case. A Woodland Hills hit and run accident attorney knows from experience that the more information you can bring forward that emphasizes the extent of your damages and how badly you were hurt, can increase your chances of a higher monetary award.

What can an attorney do to help me throughout this process?

An attorney can provide assistance in various ways regarding the pedestrian accident. Most often, a victim in such a scenario hires an attorney for insight, strategy, guidance, and even representation during court proceedings. A hit and run accident attorney for Woodland Hills can also help protect the pedestrian victim from further harm.

How exactly can an attorney protect the pedestrian victim?

After the accident, a pedestrian may receive deceiving phone calls from insurance adjusters or other representatives who want to know what happened. While they may at first seem friendly and supportive, these representatives could be trying to get you to say something in order to lessen or deny your claim. Without a Woodland Hills hit and run accident attorney watching out for the victim, he or she may unknowingly provide information that is only going to be used against them.  Call Barry P. Goldberg today!

    • Results Oriented, Trustworthy and Knowledgeable

      I suffered through a not-my-fault auto accident in January of 2010. Unfortunately the opposing insurance company is well known for it’s habitual delays of paying plaintiffs.
      Barry Goldberg did an excellent job of pursuing Mercury on my behalf until we reached a more than fair settlement. He is fair, knowledgeable, kept me well informed through the months of interaction with opposing Counsel and acheived a great result considering all the circumstances. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a personal injury lawsuit! Should a prospective client wish to speak with me about working with Mr. Goldberg, please contact him for my information.

      Car Accident Client
    • Highly Knowledgeable and Responsive

      As an attorney with a legal matter outside my area of expertise, one involving my own family member, I decided to contact Mr. Goldberg after viewing some of his quality legal work. His grasp of the particulars was very impressive, as was his advice in regard to proceeding forward. His speedy and friendly response was refreshing, highlighting an engaged and highly competent professional.

      Personal Injury Client
    • Negotiating a Settlement and Social Media

      Really appreciate the legal guidance I received from Mr. Goldberg. I did not feel my insurance company had my best interest in mind and I reached out for legal council. It was clear Mr. Goldberg was an expert not only in personal injury cases but the use of Facebook posts and Tweets as evidence. I will definitely work with Mr. Goldberg again in the future and will recommend him to my family and friends.

    • I was hit by a SUV while cycling in Santa Monica and was referred to Barry by a cycling friend (who was also a lawyer). Barry and his staff were professional and very easy to work with and negotiated a fair settlement with the drivers insurance company for the damage to my bike and for my medical bills and injuries. Unlike the run-in with the SUV (or going to the dentist), it was about as painless an experience as I could have hoped for.

      Dave, a Car Accident Client
    • I initially called a different attorney to handle my case. He didn’t file the DMV forms and got my license suspended due to negligence. He also stopped answering the phone for a solid 6-8 months.

      One day I began to search for a new attorney and I found Barry. He took over my case, knowing that it was a mess and he would have to put in extra work for free. He immediately took control and got everything in motion. My case was resolved in my favor, faster than I had anticipated.

      I was kept up-to-date at all times, even when I didn’t call them. Sarah was sure to update me anytime new info came in. I would recommend Barry to my family. This is a great law office, so there’s no need to continue searching around and worrying who to call. You have found the people you are looking for. They also have a nice office for the times you need to stop by.

      Here’s the attorney you have been searching for: Barry Goldberg
      Ryan
    • I was involved in a car accident about a year ago, t-boned by another car which ran a red light. I found myself with a huge hospital bill, several other bills, a totaled car, phone calls and letters every day, and no one to turn to for help. I attempted to do things on my own, and quickly got in over my head. A friend found Barry’s website, so after a couple months of being stressed and overwhelmed, I gave him a call and we set up a free consultation.

      The office is easy to find, very clean and professional. I met Barry and his assistant Sarah, and immediately felt comfortable and relaxed with them. Barry sat and listened and talked with me, giving advice for TWO hours instead of the agreed one hour! He was so genuine, so kind, and truly cared about my situation and wanted to help. A few days later I hired him, and it was the best decision I could’ve made!!!

      Barry and Sarah always kept me in the loop with phone calls and emails of progress with my claims. They are persistent and efficient, and have won way more money for me than I could have ever gotten fighting this case on my own! Everything on their end has been fast- responses, updates, issuing checks- and with attention to detail. The only reason it has taken a year to wrap up has been waiting on the hospital/insurance/others to respond to the firm.

      A tremendous burden was lifted off my shoulders when I hired this firm, and I am immensely pleased with their service and support!!! SO many thanks to the Goldberg law office!!! I’d recommend them any time 🙂
