When a motorist flees the scene of an accident in Orlando, they don’t know if they have left the other motorist to deal with property damage, injuries, and many questions. How you could seek compensation for a hit-and-run accident might be unclear, but an Orlando car accident lawyer from Bogin, Munns & Munns will explain your options.
Our Orlando hit and run accident lawyers will work with law enforcement officials to identify the fleeing motorist. However, even if we don’t identify the motorist, we could file a claim with your insurer to pursue the compensation you deserve.
Recoverable Damages in Your Orlando Hit and Run Accident Case
Motor vehicle accidents generally cause economic and noneconomic damages. We will investigate all your losses and seek fair and adequate compensation.
Medical Expenses
Medical bills are often the heftiest loss hit and run accident victims suffer because they might require:
- Ambulance transport
- Emergency medical care
- Hospitalization
- Surgery
- Imaging (e.g., x-rays, CTs, and MRIs)
- Doctor’s visits
- Medications
- Medical equipment
- Physical therapy
Our attorneys also work with medical experts to evaluate a client’s future medical needs and expenses.
Property Costs
We will account for all property damaged during your auto accident in Orlando. For instance, you may need to repair or replace your vehicle, cell phone, clothing, accessories, and other property inside (or strapped to) your car during the collision.
Our team will also include the cost of temporary transportation in your lawsuit or claim.
Pain and Suffering
We consider the noneconomic cost of every hit and run accident. Pain and suffering is a common type of recoverable damage that can encompass the following:
- Chronic, acute pain
- Emotional anguish
- Psychological distress
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety (including fear of being in a motor vehicle)
- Depression
- Sleep disturbances
- Lost quality of life
- Scarring and disfigurement
We will discuss your pain and suffering with you. Additionally, our firm can pay for a mental health professional to evaluate you and provide any necessary mental health treatment.
Lost Income
Accident victims often miss work, which causes them to lose:
- Their usual paycheck
- Earning power (which may lessen because of long-term injury symptoms)
- Opportunities to earn bonuses and promotions
- Benefits (if you lose your job because of injuries)
- Fulfillment you get from working
Our team will calculate your existing professional damages. We will also project future income losses if you are out of work indefinitely.

- Your pain and suffering, including grief

- Loss of the decedent’s income and household services
