    What is a Hit and run accident?

    A hit and run accident occurs when a driver involved in a collision leaves the scene without stopping to provide necessary information or aid to the injured parties. These accidents can involve pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles.

    Hit and run incidents can leave victims with significant injuries, property damage, and emotional trauma. It is essential to remember that you have legal rights, and speaking with a hit and run accident lawyer can give your case the best chance of success.

     

    Why Should I Consult a Hit and run accident attorney?

    One of the biggest challenges in hit and run cases is identifying the responsible driver who fled the scene of the accident. This is where a hit and run accident lawyer can be invaluable. These attorneys have the knowledge and resources to conduct a thorough investigation into the accident. They can work closely with law enforcement and private investigators, gather evidence from the accident scene, review any available surveillance footage, and interview witnesses to help identify the negligent driver. By utilizing their experience and expertise, they can significantly increase the chances of locating the at-fault driver and holding them accountable for their actions.

     

    How Can I Recover Compensation if the Driver Fled the Scene of the Accident?

    In some cases, an attorney may be unable to locate the negligent driver. This could be due to various factors, such as limited evidence or the driver's deliberate efforts to evade detection. However, this does not mean you can’t recover compensation. Your hit and run accident lawyer will explore alternative avenues for compensation.

    Depending on the specific circumstances, they may help you file a claim with your insurance company under uninsured motorist coverage or explore other legal options available to you. While this may not bring the negligent driver directly to justice, it can still provide you with the financial compensation you need to cover medical expenses, property damage, and other losses.

    Filing a Claim With Your Insurance company

    Your lawyer will guide you through the process of filing an insurance claim with your own insurance company. They will help you gather the necessary documentation, such as accident reports, medical records, and any other evidence of the accident and your injuries.

    Understanding Uninsured motorist coverage

    If you have uninsured motorist coverage as part of your auto insurance policy, your lawyer will help you understand the coverage limits and provisions. They will work with your insurance company to ensure you receive the maximum compensation available under your policy.

    Filing a Lawsuit

    If the other driver does not have insurance coverage and you do not have uninsured motorist coverage, your attorney can determine if filing a personal injury lawsuit is a viable option. In some cases, if the driver couldn't afford car insurance, they may not have the compensation to pay you, even if you win your case in court. However, in other instances, a driver may have been negligent regarding renewing their insurance coverage and does have the assets to cover the cost of your damages. Your attorney will assess your case and identify the best course of action in that situation.

    Last year I had an accident and my car was totaled. I was very upset and didn't know what to do. A friend told me to call MVP and it was the best decision ever. They got my car paid off very fast, set me up with a doctor, and just last week I got a fat check for my pain and suffering. Thank you MVP!

    MVP Accident Attorneys was the best decision ever made. They helped me through the process and made it stress free for me. It was first accident and i was super stressed because i didn’t know what to do. I called MVP and was treated so kindly by amazing people who went over my accident with me and any questions i had. They have a whole team! I was then helped by attorney and case managers who set me up with treatment so I can get all patched up. Finally, the liens department took care of all my bills and made sure i had nothing to worry about. 11/10 would recommend them to family and friends! You cannot go wrong with MVP
