And a personal injury lawyer will not get him more if the insurance bills already exceed the amount of the policy, which in all likelihood they do (for example my broken leg and a 100k policy). The lawyer would work on contingency and would take 30-40% of the claim which in a case like this is a massive waste of money. It would be more beneficial in a case like this to seek a lawyers help and pay them based on their hourly rate

Just because you had an experience with a bad lawyer doesn't mean you know everything.... My ex and I got side swiped by a driver years back and the coverage of his insurance ended with our hospitol bills and my personal injury lawyer sued the driver and won. We got a payout higher then what we would've gotten without the lawyer.....
Edit: I didn't read it was a hit and run tho. So Hopefully they find the driver!
