FAQs

If a hit-and-run driver hurt you, you might still have options for recovering compensation for your injuries and losses. If you have auto insurance, you may be entitled to file a claim with your own insurance company when you were injured by a hit-and-run driver in a pedestrian accident. Hit-and-run drivers who cannot be identified are deemed uninsured drivers, allowing you to file a claim under the uninsured motorist coverage in your auto insurance policy.

If an insurance adjuster contacts you after a pedestrian accident, you should direct them to contact your Fort Worth pedestrian accident attorney at The Wilhite Law Firm. In many cases, insurance adjusters will contact accident victims directly to obtain a statement that the insurance company might later use to deny the injured victim’s claim or pay less than the full amount of compensation they deserve. Your attorney can handle communications with the insurance company on your behalf so that you have someone protecting your interests.

At The Wilhite Law Firm, we represent injured pedestrians on a contingency-fee basis. This means you will pay no money upfront to hire us to help with your pedestrian accident case. Instead, we will be paid only if we secure compensation for you, either in a negotiated settlement or by securing a verdict at trial. We will be paid a previously agreed-upon percentage of your total financial recovery.
