Hit and Run Accidents
Rely on an Experienced Hit and Run Lawyer to Get Things Done
Make no mistake: a hit and run accident is a criminal act. There is never a legitimate reason to fail to stop after being involved in a collision. Often, drivers flee because they are driving under the influence. They may hit and run because they lack valid auto insurance or operator's license, or if they are violating another law such as not having a child in a child safety seat.
Understanding hit and run law in Alabama, Georgia, or Washington D.C.
The definition of a hit and run accident is any time another vehicle collides with you and the driver of that vehicle does not stop to exchange information about the accident. The difficulty that victims frequently have collecting damages for injuries or compensation for property damage make a bad situation even worse. That's when you need an aggressive hit and run attorney on your side.
If you are the victim of a hit and run accident:
- First, call 911 to report the event. Prompt calling records the time of the event and gives you the best chance to find the responsible party. Stay calm and give all the details you can: anything you can remember about the vehicle and driver might be valuable.
- Never attempt to follow the fleeing vehicle that has struck you. The driver or a passenger may have good reason to be avoiding the law and should not be confronted alone.
- If there are any witnesses, speak with them and ask for their contact information.
- As soon as you can, photograph the damage to your car. If possible, also photograph the accident site.
