HIT & RUN ACCIDENTS
Being the victim of a hit and run accident is especially traumatic. The at-fault driver has fled, leaving you injured, confused, and unsure of your options. But you are not without recourse — and you need an attorney immediately.
UNDERSTANDING HIT & RUN ACCIDENTS
Hit and run accidents are a criminal offense, but that doesn't mean you'll automatically receive compensation. Your ability to recover damages depends on several factors, including whether the driver is identified, your own insurance coverage, and the laws of your state.
Even if the at-fault driver is never found, you may be able to recover through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. This coverage is specifically designed for situations where the at-fault driver is unidentified or uninsured.
Acting quickly is critical in hit and run cases. Surveillance footage, witness memories, and physical evidence fade rapidly. Attorneys in our referral network know how to preserve evidence and pursue every available avenue for compensation.
WHAT TO DO AFTER THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT
Call 911 immediately — file a police report.
Note any details about the fleeing vehicle: color, make, model, partial plate.
Look for witnesses and surveillance cameras nearby.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Contact your own insurance company — but speak to an attorney first.
