On December 19th,2008, Elmer Weatherword was hit and killed by a hit-and-run driver in Greenville,MS.The Washington County Sheriff's office has made no arrests.They have looked in Arkansas,North Mississippi,and even Tupelo and surrounding areas.
The family of hit-and-run victims are able to collect benefits from their own insurance company when certain conditions exist.One must prove that the deceased was hit by a vehicle,the accident must be reported to the authorities,an accident report must be made,the family must have an insurance policy on at least one vehicle in the household,and the deceased must be related to the owner of the policy.
We have handled numerous hit-and-run accidents over the 34 years that I have been representing accident victims and their families.It takes a little more work than usual,but the results are well worth it for the family.If you know of anyone who was hit by a hit-and-run driver,call paul snow at 1-800-640-4478.
