What to Do After a Hit-and-Run

If you are ever involved in a hit-and-run accident, taking the following steps can save your life and preserve your claim for compensation:

  • Get yourself and your vehicle to a safe place if possible.
  • Do not pursue the other driver.
  • Get the driver’s license plate number.
  • Get the make and model of the driver’s vehicle.
  • Write down any identifying descriptions of the driver and their vehicle.
  • Gather witness contact information.
  • Contact the authorities within five days of the accident.
  • Seek medical attention, even in cases of minor injuries.
  • Speak with an experienced hit-and-run attorney.

You will also want to write down a narrative of the events leading up to the crash and post-crash events. You should include as many details as possible, including anything that might give a clue as to why the driver fled (e.g., the driver was swerving and likely intoxicated).

It may be that the driver did not even realize that they hit you. However, if they did, they will face serious criminal charges on top of the civil liability for causing a crash. Currently, penalties for a hit-and-run include fines, jail time, and loss of license, either permanently or temporarily. If injuries or death are involved, prison is on the table.

I have a 12-year-old daughter now, who sustained negligence by a compound Pharmacy and a physician. I called around with the advice of her care team to obtain counsel. Finally, I was directed to Jarad Silverstein a man with so much empathy and compassion Love for his work and his clients he took her case. He normally would not have taken but after listening to my Plight about my daughter’s Encounter he did. His empathy and compassion towards my family towards my daughter. He came to our home and visited with my daughter. He visited with myself and my husband. And we were not close to him. We were probably about an hour and a half away from him. What an exceptional human being what an exceptional firm. I can’t say enough about Wapner Newman. And the people that they employ. Thank you, Jarad, For everything he did for my daughter for us. You will forever be in our hearts and our minds. Thank you again.

Your Top Questions, Answered.

OUR HIT AND RUN INJURY ATTORNEYS ANSWER COMMON QUESTIONS Tell us about your injury

Should I hire a lawyer for my case?

Yes. If your desire is to get as much compensation as possible, you need an attorney fighting for you. The compensation process pits you against insurance company adjusters who are experts in finding ways to deny and reduce claims. With a vehicle accident lawyer on your side, the playing field is evened.

 

How much do hit-and-run lawyers charge?

You will pay a contingency fee at the end of your case. It will be a percentage of the final settlement or verdict you receive. Hence, there are no upfront costs involved in having your hit-and-run lawyer start building your case.

 

How long will my hit-and-run case take?

Relatively simple cases can be resolved in a few months or less. On the other hand, more involved cases can take multiple months or even years. After reviewing your case, we will have a better idea as to how long your case might take.

Will my insurance cover my losses caused by a hit-and-run driver?

If you have auto insurance, it will cover some of your economic losses up to the policy limit, such as reasonable medical expenses and lost wages. However, your insurance policy will not cover non-economic losses like pain and suffering.

How much compensation can I get for my hit-and-run case?

We can’t say how much your case is worth until meeting with you. However, you should know that at Wapner Newman, we always pursue maximum compensation. What this is varies from case to case.
