Medical Expenses
The compensation is based on the actual cost of medical treatment. The value ranges from a few thousand dollars for minor injuries to hundreds of thousands for severe, long-term injuries requiring extensive treatment.
Medical expenses are usually challenging to prove, but issues likely arise if treatment was delayed or not well-documented.
Future Medical Care
Future Medical Needs compensation covers the anticipated cost of ongoing or long-term medical treatment required after a car accident. This includes expenses related to rehabilitation, surgeries, therapy, or lifetime care for permanent disabilities. Settlement values typically range from $50,000 to several million dollars, depending on the severity of the injuries and the expected duration of care.
This type of compensation carries a high level of risk, as it depends heavily on expert medical testimony to accurately forecast future health conditions and related expenses.
Loss of Earning Capacity
Loss of Earning Capacity refers to compensation for the reduced ability to earn income in the future due to accident-related injuries or disabilities. The amount is estimated based on projected lost wages over the person’s remaining working years and can vary from tens of thousands to several million dollars, depending on factors such as age, occupation, education, and injury severity.
Proving this type of loss is complex, requiring detailed evidence of prior earnings, career trajectory, and expert economic analysis to clearly link the injury to diminished earning potential.
Vehicle Damage
Vehicle Damage compensation covers the cost to repair or replace a vehicle damaged in a car accident. The claim may include the cost to restore the car to its pre-accident condition or the fair market value if it is declared a total loss. The settlement amount depends on the vehicle’s age, make, model, mileage, pre-accident condition, and repair costs. Minor damages usually cost $500–$5,000 to fix, while severe damage or total loss can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, especially for newer or luxury cars.
Insurance adjusters or auto appraisers typically determine the final amount. Proving vehicle damage is usually straightforward with photos and repair estimates, though disputes can arise over pre-existing issues, depreciation, or total loss valuation.
Physical Pain
Physical Pain compensation addresses the physical suffering and discomfort caused by injuries sustained in an accident. It includes both immediate pain following the crash and ongoing pain experienced during recovery. The value is often calculated using a multiplier method, where medical expenses and other quantifiable damages are multiplied by a factor—typically between 1.5 and 5—based on the severity and duration of the pain.
Pain and suffering damages are inherently subjective, requiring comprehensive medical documentation, doctor testimony, and sometimes personal pain journals. The challenge lies in proving the lasting impact of the pain, especially if visible injuries appear healed or documentation is incomplete.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of incident legally qualifies as a hit and run accident?
It can involve different types of crashes, but they all have one common thing: the driver fails to stop and exchange information.
What steps should I take if I’m involved in situations where there is an uninsured motorist?
First, report it to the police and give every detail you remember. If you’re hurt or your car took real damage, we always advise talking to a lawyer.
Is it possible to hire a hit and run accident attorney if my parked car was damaged and the other driver took off?
Small repairs are typically covered by your insurance provider. But if it is serious or there’s any injury involved, it’s smart to call a counselor.
If the responsible driver can’t be located, can I still get compensated for my damages?
With Uninsured Motorist coverage in your policy, you’re allowed to file a lawsuit. For more complex cases, you need legal representation.
If they find the driver who hit me, can I sue to have compensation?
Absolutely. You can recover money for medical treatment, emotional trauma, lost salaries, and the outlay of fixing or replacing an automobile.
Don’t delay — time is limited
Under Florida law, you have two years to file a personal injury claim. Missing the deadline can mean losing your right to full recovery.

Hit and Run Accident Lawyer in Fort Myers, North Port and beyond
In many events, drivers who cause accidents attempt to flee, especially when they think no one saw them, like at night or on a poorly lit street. Even more incidents occur when a motorist causes a fatal collision or is intoxicated at the time.
Despite the circumstances, victims still can take legal steps to recover money through the coverage provider. Our hit and run accident lawyers help clients file an uninsured motorist suit, and if he is later identified, we can also step into a personal injury claim.
In cases involving damage to private property or parked vehicles, our proficient hit and run attorneys offer more than support, but improve the likelihood of securing a bounty amount. In situations like this, we typically:
- Our team stays close during any police interaction, permitting the client to make their statement so it’s clear, correct, and fully reflects their rights.
- We connect our clients with trusted specialists to check the damage and make sure nothing goes unnoticed.
- If the answerable party hasn’t been located, we assist in the search using available private investigative tools.
- Our team is prepared to manage all communication with insurance adjusters and handle the documentation needed for legal proceedings.
But, pedestrian accident remains the most prevalent type encountered by our legal team. We handle everything – from tracking down witnesses and video evidence to organizing medical assessments and gathering paperwork. We create a case that leaves no doubt for the insurance representative and are ready to take it to court when necessary.
We don’t quit at just filing the basic suit. If the restitution is too low, we fight back — demanding lost wages, physical and emotional hardship, and pushing to hold the driver fully accountable, particularly if they had alcohol or controlled substances in their system. The most difficult, but not hopeless, cases are those involving a fatal type, because they must be handled in a tribunal.
The timeframe for resolving a case in Fort Myers and North Port is influenced by the competence and the availability of supporting evidence.
On average, our experts provide the following timeline estimates:
- Criminal litigation may extend from a few weeks to one year, especially when aggravating elements, such as the presence of victims, are involved.
- Insurance-related proceedings generally take between one and three months, though they may extend if complex assessments or additional documentation are required.
- Civil lawsuits typically last about six months to resolve, but cases involving significant financial declarations may take longer.
That’s exactly why we always tell our clients: act fast. Get the paperwork together, document the damage, get medical attention, and get legal help.
Contact the hit and run accident attorneys at Kremenchuker Law Group, and we’ll help move things along quicker and with way less stress. We know all the nuances and pitfalls that could get in the way, but we won’t let that happen.
