 When someone hits a car, pedestrian, motorcyclist or someone on a bike and then leaves the scene without exchanging information, he or she may be charged with a felony.  If you were injured in a hit and run accident then you need a lawyer who knows how to competently handle all sides of this complex type of injury case.

What Are My Options When a Driver Commits a Hit and Run?

There are two ways a hit and run case can go:

1. The driver eludes police and you need the help of your own insurance company:

In the event that the driver cannot be found by authorities, it is possible to get compensation via your own insurance.  Some or all of the damages from a hit and run accident can be covered under uninsured motorist insurance, collision and/or medical payment coverage if you have any of these on your policy.

2. The driver is found by police and is made to take responsibility for what he or she has done:

The authorities take hit and run cases involving an injury or fatality very seriously.  While causing only minor property damage and running is a misdemeanor, an accident that causes serious injuries is a third-degree felony.  Today, cameras are everywhere and bystanders are quick to whip out their phones and capture video of something like a hit and run.  Some hit and run drivers have even been caught thanks to witnesses posting videos on YouTube.  Once the individual is caught, they can be made responsible for medical bills, lost income, as well as other damages you may have incurred.
