The personal injury attorneys at Whitley Law Firm understand that injuries caused by a hit-and-run accident can have a lifelong impact on the victim and their families. Attorney Telana Poe spoke to CBS17 about what to do if you are involved in a hit-and-run accident:
If you are involved in a hit-and-run, you may have questions about how to afford medical bills and unexpected costs. Telana told CBS17, “Even as a pedestrian, if you are injured by a vehicle that hits you and runs, if you’re on a bicycle,your own motor vehicle coverage can still come into play and still help you out with those medical bills. Even if you were not actually in a vehicle, your coverage follows you as an individual wherever you go.”
