Why Do People Commit Hit and Runs?

Leaving the scene of an accident is against the law. In many states, if a person is hurt or killed in the crash, fleeing the scene is a felony. Yet, careless drivers still make the terrible choice to run away.

According to crash data from the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), 25% of pedestrian accident deaths were from hit-and-run collisions. 

There are many reasons why a driver might speed off after hitting you. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • Drunk Driving: Drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol often panic and drive away because they do not want to go to jail for a DUI.
  • No Insurance: If a driver does not have auto insurance, they might flee because they know they cannot pay for the damage they caused.
  • Active Warrants: Criminals who have warrants out for their arrest do not want to have to speak to the police after causing an accident.
  • Stolen Vehicles: If the driver is in a stolen car, they do not want to have to speak to the police since they don't have proper registration or insurance.
  • Distracted Driving: Sometimes, drivers are texting or looking at their phones, and cause a massive wreck. 

No matter why the driver ran, their actions are selfish and wrong. Our hit-and-run accident attorney knows how to investigate these crimes and will work hard to hold the at-fault party responsible.

Common Injuries from Hit & Run Crashes

A hit-and-run crash often results in catastrophic injuries that require emergency hospital visits, surgeries, and physical therapy. We understand the heavy medical evidence needed to prove exactly how much pain you are in.

We represent clients suffering from:

Compensation Available to Hit & Run Victims

When you hire DM Injury Law, we will look at every single detail of your life and the accident to figure out exactly how much money you deserve. We do not let insurance companies give you less than you deserve. We fight for the maximum settlement check or jury verdict.

We can help you seek damages for:

  • Medical Expenses: This covers the cost of your ambulance ride, emergency room visits, surgeries, doctor appointments, medications, and physical therapy. We also fight for money to cover any medical care you will need in the future.
  • Lost Wages: If you had to miss work because of your injuries, you deserve to be paid for those lost paychecks. If your injuries are permanent and you can never return to your old job, we will fight for your future lost earning power.
  • Pain and Suffering: A crash causes terrible physical pain and deep emotional trauma. You deserve money for your anxiety, depression, loss of sleep, and loss of enjoyment of life.
  • Property Damage: We will seek the money needed to repair your vehicle or replace it completely if it was destroyed in the crash.
  • Punitive Damages: Because fleeing the scene of an accident is a crime in many states, a judge or jury may force the bad driver to pay extra money as a punishment for their terrible behavior.
  • Wrongful Death Costs: If a loved one died in the accident, you deserve compensation to cover the cost of the funeral. If that person provided you with financial support, we can secure money to support you throughout your future.

Frequently Asked Questions for Our Hit and Run Accident Lawyers

What should I do right after a hit-and-run crash?

  1. Call 911: Report the crash to the police immediately. Inform them that the other driver fled the scene.
  2. Provide Details: Give the police any information you recall about the other vehicle, such as its color, make, model, or license plate number.
  3. Seek Medical Attention: Get medical help right away, even if you feel fine. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
  4. Contact Us: Before speaking with any insurance company, call our hit-and-run accident attorneys for reliable legal guidance.

Can I still get money if the police never find the driver?

Yes. If the driver who hit you is never found, you can still receive money. You can often use your own auto insurance policy to get the money you need. This is called Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage, which is required in most states. Our attorneys know exactly how to utilize your insurance policy to make sure they pay you what is fair.
