The North Carolina Wrongful Death Attorneys’ Perspective
The deceased victims’ family should contact a wrongful death attorney in North Carolina to discuss their legal options. Even if the hit-and-run driver is never apprehended, your car insurance company must pay up to the total uninsured motorist insurance coverage the policy provides. Even if the hit-and-run driver doesn’t have car insurance, most state laws require this special coverage attached to every car owner’s insurance policy.
