Philadelphia Hit and Run Accident Lawyer

Dedicated Legal Help for a Hit and Run Accident Injury in Philly

You have rights under Pennsylvania law, including the right to recover compensation when someone has harmed you through their negligent or careless actions. Although fleeing the scene wasn’t the full extent of the defendant’s negligence, it certainly contributes to the harm you suffered.

Many times, a motorist flees the scene in an effort to avoid legal trouble for violations such as:

• Speeding
• Tailgating
• Distracted driving
• Drunk or impaired driving
• Driving without a valid license or with a suspended license
• Driving without maintaining a valid auto insurance policy

In other instances, the motorist may flee the scene in a panic rather than an intentional attempt to avoid the consequences. No matter why the motorist fled the scene, you’re the one impacted by their crime.

Drivers involved in auto accidents that cause property damage or injury are required under Pennsylvania law to stop their vehicle and provide their name, contact information, vehicle information, and insurance information. They must also render reasonable assistance to an injured person. By failing to do so, the driver makes it more difficult for you to pursue a claim for compensation and puts your health and safety at greater risk by neglecting to provide assistance.

Our Philly hit and run accident lawyers take this violation seriously. We set out to identify hit and run drivers, as well as any other sources of coverage or compensation, through an in-depth investigation. Depending on the circumstances, our efforts to find the driver might include:

• Interviewing witnesses
• Identifying potential sources of video surveillance footage and gathering that footage as evidence
• Collaborating with accident reconstructionists or other expert witnesses

To secure you compensation for your injury, a hit & run accident attorney in Philadelphia, PA, generally needs to identify a liable party and establish the conduct that both breached some duty of care to you and caused your injuries and related damages.

If a hit and run driver cannot be found, it may be possible to recover compensation through any uninsured motorist coverage available to you, instead. Our Philly hit and run accident lawyers can advise you, based on your specific circumstances, how to move forward with getting the compensation you deserve.
