When The Negligent Driver Just Drives Away

The most troubling part of many hit-and-run accidents is not the seriousness of the injuries that result; it’s the fact that a driver was inconsiderate enough to hurt or kill another person but not even stop. It defies imagination that someone would be so selfish, leaving a human being lying in the street — but it happens every day.As a motorist, leaving the scene of an accident you caused is against the law. Some hit-and-run drivers are drunk, under the influence of drugs or trying to avoid being caught for other wrongdoing. Others are uninsured. Many are just scared by what they have done. A few hit-and-runs are called “phantom” accidents. The driver who caused the accident is unaware of it and speeds away.

The law requires your auto insurer to provide compensation for damages caused by a hit-and-run driver who hit you. Some of this compensation is designed to cover medical expenses. If you need a lawyer who understands how hit-and-run cases work, talk to us.
