Can I Recover Compensation After a Hit-and-Run Crash in Greenville, SC?

Yes. You may be able to recover compensation after a hit-and-run crash in Greenville, SC. If the driver is identified, you may pursue a claim through their insurance. If not, uninsured motorist coverage may provide another option.

Once your immediate medical needs have been addressed, continuing treatment can help determine the extent of your injuries. Pedestrian crashes can lead to injuries that require follow-up care, rehabilitation, or additional treatment.

When the vehicle leaves, information from nearby businesses, traffic cameras, residents, or other drivers may help investigators identify it. Details about the vehicle’s color, model, damage, direction of travel, or license plate can also help narrow the search.

If investigators locate the driver, a claim may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning ability, pain and suffering, and future treatment related to the injuries.

Because uninsured motorist coverage is required with South Carolina automobile insurance, an applicable policy may provide compensation when the responsible driver is uninsured. Whether a pedestrian has access to this coverage depends on the policy and circumstances.

Even if the driver remains unidentified, South Carolina law permits certain uninsured motorist claims involving unknown drivers when specific requirements are met. The facts of the crash and available evidence can affect whether the claim qualifies. 

During the claims process, a pedestrian accident lawyer can review available insurance, calculate your losses, and address disputes involving responsibility or coverage. An attorney can also communicate with insurance companies on your behalf.
