Many people do not realize that if they are struck by a hit-and-run driver, even if they are not in a car at the time of the accident, their own automobile insurance will usually come into play with coverage called “uninsured” motorist coverage.  This is true whether the injured person is walking, jogging or even riding a bike.  If you have been injured by a hit-and-run driver, it is important that you seek the advice of a personal injury attorney right away.  Call Bremer & Trollop Law Offices at 715-849-3200 to schedule a free consultation.
