Accident - Hit & Run
Hi QL member, i would like to ask for some advise.
I been in an accident last 3 months ago by a 4x4 car drive as I was walking by minor age guy (under 18 years old), someone saw the incident immediately he call ambulance, (I feel the pain in my back and got contusion 10 Cm in my thigh part-shoulder as well and scratch in my arm due to the impact of the car) while the guy who hit me as I thought will help me, He reverse his car and run away. I was lucky that I do memorized his plate # and told the police, I decided to pursue the case to this Guy,
My question is,
How long should I wait to start hearing process?
I know if i continue this case he will be in age at his right age (18yrs old) as he doesn't have license & he run. I continue the case for him to realize what he did.
If I would ask for any compensation, how much is the value i should claim?
I don't have any idea,
my friend who was almost killed in an accident spent 2 years going to court before she was awarded 40,000 for her pain and suffering. She had to hire a lawyer in order for the case to go forward. Good luck.
You will get a call from the public prosecution (for my car it took almost after 6 months and they called me)...You can not estimate when they will call...However you can follow up with them
why do you think that he dsnt have a DL, The minimum age for learning to drive is 18 years old, although special permission can be granted for learners as young as 17.

Dont give up in ur case, sometimes it may take a year or so, fight for ur right
Insurance will pay u share with the owner of car. That only after court decision only.
The timing u can ask police
Usually how many months will this case start?
The police and judicary looks into Hit n Run cases quite seriously.
The compensation value will be determined by the court as per your medical reports and the level of injury.
