We Make Wrongdoers Responsible
Drivers have the responsibility to protect the safety of others on the road — including pedestrians. They also have the responsibility to stop and wait for emergency response teams should they accidentally hit a pedestrian or other vehicle. When drivers ignore these responsibilities and you are injured as a result, you may be unsure what options you have to obtain compensation for your injuries or disability.
We at the Farrell Law Group understand the often serious nature of pedestrian hit-and-run accidents. As your advocate, we will help you understand your rights and options for recovering the benefits and compensation you need to take care of your medical expenses, loss of income and other financial considerations. From our office in Toronto, we represent individuals throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and southern Ontario.
Since 1982, our lawyer Guy Farrell has provided client-centred legal advice and litigation services focused on personal injury and insurance claims.
Understanding Unidentified Motorist Coverage
Every motor vehicle insurance policy in Ontario must contain unidentified motorist coverage. This coverage provides a source of compensation for individuals and their dependants should anyone in the family suffer serious injury as a result of a hit-and-run accident. Therefore, even if you were not in your car at the time of your accident, you may be able to seek benefits under your own auto insurance policy, including:
-
Damages for pain and suffering
- All economic losses
We will review your policy and serve as your advocate in negotiating with your insurance company. We work with top-class medical specialists to determine the full impact of your injury. By looking at the whole picture, we seek to obtain the benefits you need to rebuild your life.
If you do not have car insurance or other forms of insurance, we can refer you to qualified professionals who can help you seek alternative forms of compensation through government funds and other programs.
