Hit & Run Claims
If you have been involved in a car accident and the other driver fled the scene of the crash, you still have a case. You have a hit and run / uninsured motorist claim against your own insurance policy. Your insurance company will "step into the shoes" of the driver that caused the motor vehicle collision and pay on your claim.
If you were a pedestrian or a bike rider involved in a hit & run accident, you still have a case. Your uninsured motorist coverage will still work for you. Also, if you do not have an auto insurance policy, our firm will look to recover from a household family member's insurance policy if one is available.

Personal injury lawyers from our firm can set up an uninsured motorist claim, send a
demand package to your insurance carrier, and attempt to negotiate a settlement on
your behalf. If a settlement cannot be reached, your case would most likely resolve in
arbitration under the terms of your policy. Proceeding with a hit & run claim can often be very beneficial to our clients. In reality, it is easier to settle an uninsured motorist claim against your own insurance policy than to settle against an adverse insurance carrier, and the settlement will usually be for a higher value. If you were a pedestrian or a bike rider involved in a hit & run accident, you still have a case. Your uninsured motorist coverage will still work for you. Also, if you do not have an auto insurance policy, our firm will look to recover from a household family member's insurance policy if one is available.
