Fetto Law Group Takes a Stand for Justice
A hit and run accident is one of the most senseless acts any individual can be subjected to and as the victim, you may struggle with anger and confusion.

Put a Walnut Creek Car Accident Lawyer on Your Side
After a hit and run accident, it is imperative that you get as much information as possible about the car that hit you. If you can, write down the model, make, and license plate number. Reach out to any witnesses to the accident and obtain their contact information. Before leaving the scene, take numerous pictures of your car.
Of equal importance is contacting the police to file an accident report immediately after the collision. With a police report on file, you can show your insurance company that you took the time to document the incident and verify the truthfulness of your claims.
When it comes to compensation for your losses, this ultimately depends on your car insurance coverage. The two types of coverage that may protect you after a hit and run are:
- Uninsured motorist bodily injury (UMBI) coverage for medical expenses
- Uninsured motorist property damage (UMPD) coverage for car repairs
Our firm can help you understand specifically how your car insurance applies to your accident and fight for the highest amount of compensation. With so much on the line, you can’t afford to go without legal assistance. Call us today to speak personally with our car accident lawyer in Walnut Creek!
