This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS

Damages You Can Seek in a Hit-and-Run Claim

When you file a civil claim against a driver or your own uninsured motorist policy, a variety of damages are available to you.

This includes any of these that apply in your case:

  • Property damage
  • Medical expenses
  • Estimated future medical costs
  • Lost income
  • Lost capacity to continue working
  • Other out-of-pocket expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Other non-monetary losses like loss of reputation
  • Wrongful death
  • Punitive damages

Determining the value of certain losses can be complicated, especially for future losses or intangible damages. Far too many people undervalue their claims, leaving a significant amount of money on the table and possibly even being responsible for medical costs and other out-of-pocket expenses moving forward.

You need professional assistance when it comes to valuing your claim to make sure you receive every penny you deserve. This is what Zanes Law Injury Lawyers can offer if you find yourself a victim of this type of car accident.

Should You Accept an Offer From an Insurance Company?

Insurance companies are known for low-balling their settlement offers, even in the case of a hit-and-run accident. You might be surprised that your insurance company tries to pay you far less than you deserve, but this is a standard practice whether you are a policyholder or filing an adverse claim against another driver’s insurer.

The most important rule is that you should never accept a settlement offer from an insurance company without first consulting with a lawyer and having them review the offer compared to your losses. As mentioned, it is common to underestimate your losses, so you might think a settlement offer is acceptable. In reality, your losses might cost much more than you believe, and you can fight for a much higher offer with the help of the right attorney.

Furthermore, if you receive a settlement offer from an insurance company, it eliminates your ability to seek further compensation in the future, including by filing a civil case against the at-fault driver. By accepting a settlement offer that is too low, you can put your entire financial future – and ability to fully recover from your injuries – at risk.

Instead, the best course of action in this situation is to contact a hit-and-run accident lawyer for help.

A lawyer can:

  • Review your situation and identify all sources of liability, including the hit-and-run driver’s employer if they were on the job.
  • Calculate the full value of your past and future losses stemming from your injuries, including pain and suffering.
  • Evaluate settlement offers for adequacy and advise you when they believe a higher offer is possible.
  • Provide additional information and evidence to the insurance company to support the full amount of your claim.
  • Challenge any claims that you were partially responsible for the crash (if you are filing a claim against the at-fault driver).
  • Enlist experts when needed to testify to your future losses, including future medical costs and lost earnings if your injuries prevent you from working.
  • Negotiate with insurance adjusters and push back on their tactics to convince you to accept less than you deserve.
  • Advise you when a settlement offer is fair and favorable given the circumstances of your case.

If an insurance company does not offer enough to cover your losses, your lawyer can always file an injury lawsuit in civil court. Simply having a lawyer handling your claim signals to the insurance company that you will not back down and will take the case to court when necessary.

Should a lawsuit become necessary, an experienced car accident lawyer can handle every step of the litigation process. This includes discovery, which is evidence gathering, and pretrial negotiations. Many cases end up settling in pretrial negotiations, as insurance companies do not want to risk having a jury decide their fate. Contact the skilled litigators at Zanes Law Injury Lawyers today.

Is it Worth the Cost to Hire a Car Accident Attorney?

You might wonder why you would spend money on an attorney to help you seek money from an insurance company. Wouldn’t this mean you end up with less money in the end? Can you preserve more of your financial recovery if you seek it on your own?

The reality is that injured claimants with the right legal representation usually recover significantly higher settlements than they would on their own. This is true whether you are filing a claim against another at-fault driver or your own uninsured motorist policy following a hit and run.

In addition, our injury law firm accepts cases on a contingency fee basis, which means we never receive payment unless you do.

Consider:

  • We provide completely free consultations and evaluate whether you have a valid claim at no cost and with no obligation.
  • If you hire our firm, we provide the resources to investigate, file, and prove your claim.
  • If you do not receive a settlement or award, you pay us nothing – ever.
  • If you receive a settlement or award, our payment comes straight from those funds, so you never have to pull money from your own pocket.

We make sure that everyone understands exactly what they might pay from their settlement before they sign a representation agreement.

At Zanes Law Injury Lawyers, we believe our attorneys are well worth the investment, as we have the competence and resources necessary to properly pursue your car accident claim and help you recover substantial compensation to cover your losses.

There are many options for law firms in the Tucson area to represent your claim, but Zanes Law Injury Lawyers can provide all the resources and services necessary to fully legitimize your legal claim and turn it into significant compensation for your injuries whenever possible.
