Important Things to Know:
You only have two years to file a claim from the date of the malpractice (or when you knew of it) unless you are a minor. Act now.
In order to file a claim for medical malpractice in the State of Illinois, a medical physician must certify that medical malpractice has occurred.
The full extent of the injuries sustained as the result of medical malpractice may not be fully known until years later. It is crucial that the evidence of medical malpractice be established immediately to preserve your claim.
Important Things To Do:
1) Get the names & addresses of all witnesses.
2) Contact your insurance company, advising them you were in a hit and run, but be careful not to give a statement. Remember, your insurance company is a potential defendant.
3) Seek medical treatment. Do not overlook any injury, no matter how insignificant it may seem at the time. It is important to have documentation in case the injury develops into something more severe.
4)Take pictures of your car after the hit and run accident.
5) Contact a personal injury lawyer immediately
