The time following a hit and run accident can be extremely challenging as you determine the best course of action for your case. The state of Illinois mandates the purchase of uninsured motorist coverage to protect individuals from the financial burden of a hit and run accident. If you choose to file a claim with your insurance company, it is best to seek the assistance of a knowledgeable Chicago car accident lawyer before speaking with an insurance adjustor. Without the benefit of counsel, your statements may bar or limit your compensation amount. At Gainsberg Law, our clients can rest assured that they have years of insurance claim experience working on their behalf.
