Hit and run accident lawyer in Loris, SC
Act quickly to protect your UM claim
In South Carolina, many hit-and-run cases turn on uninsured motorist coverage and timely reporting. If the at-fault driver fled near Loris, Longs, Green Sea, Aynor, or Conway, Josephs Law Firm PA coordinates police reporting, witness follow-up, and claims filings so your benefits don’t stall. We know local roads and typical camera locations, which helps when reconstructing what happened.
If injuries are significant, combining medical records with
uninsured motorist coverage can help bridge gaps when the driver isn’t identified.
When the driver is
identified vs. unknown
- Identified: pursue liability insurance, analyze DUI or reckless driving factors, and evaluate punitive exposure.
- Unknown: proceed under UM benefits, preserve proof of contact, and document every expense and treatment.
- Mixed scenarios: coordinate UM/UIM, property damage, and med pay to keep the claim moving.
If fault is contested or the insurer delays, consult an auto accident lawyer who will push for answers and timelines.

- File a police report and keep the incident number.
- Photograph injuries, vehicles, and the scene (skid marks, debris, signage).
- Gather witness names and numbers.
- Call Josephs Law Firm PA to align medical care and insurance benefits.
