Hit and Run — $480K Despite Unidentified Driver

A pedestrian was struck in a crosswalk near Lawrenceville Highway. The driver fled and was never identified. The victim suffered a traumatic brain injury and was hospitalized for three weeks.

With no at-fault driver to pursue, we turned to the victims own uninsured motorist coverage. The insurance company disputed the severity of her injuries. We retained a neurologist and vocational expert who documented the long-term impact. After mediation, we recovered the full $480,000 policy limit.
