Being involved in a hit-and-run accident is traumatic—both physically and emotionally. The shock, confusion, and uncertainty can leave victims wondering what steps to take next. At Pyramid Legal, we specialize in helping victims of these incidents navigate their legal rights and options, ensuring they receive the support and compensation they deserve.
Why Hit-and-Run Accidents Are So Devastating
Hit-and-run accidents don’t just involve physical injury; they come with a deep sense of injustice. Drivers who flee the scene not only break the law, they also leave victims without critical information for insurance claims and accountability.
Unfortunately, these accidents are more common than most realize—and often difficult to resolve without legal guidance.
What to Do After a Hit-and-Run Accident
Taking quick action is essential, even when the responsible party is unknown:
Call 911 and file a police report
Document the scene with photos and witness statements
Seek medical care immediately
Contact an attorney experienced in hit-and-run cases
The sooner legal action is taken, the better your chances of identifying the driver and pursuing compensation through available channels.
Legal Avenues Available to Victims
Even if the driver is never found, you still have legal options to recover damages:
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Your own car insurance may include protection under uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, which can compensate for medical bills, lost wages, and more.
State Victim Compensation Funds
Some states offer financial assistance to hit-and-run victims through special government programs. These are especially helpful if insurance isn’t enough.
Civil Lawsuit if the Driver is Identified
If the at-fault driver is eventually identified, a civil personal injury claim can be filed for full compensation—including punitive damages in some cases.
Third-Party Liability
In certain cases, another party (like a bar or rideshare company) may be partially liable depending on the circumstances of the crash.
