The hit and run process begins with meeting the client and then immediately start the investigation process: notify any possible insurance companies that are involved, find out all the minute details of what happened in the incident from the client, convey that to the investigator. Sometimes the attorney and the client will go out to the scene with the investigator so they can get the best explanation. The next thing is making sure every single witness is talked to and questioned about what they saw. And then the third, you got to take care of the medical side of things and the injuries. And, for the most part, the client should focus on getting well and the attorney takes care of all the other matters related to the case.
