A hit-and-run accident can leave victims feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do next. When a driver flees the scene, it can complicate the process of seeking justice and compensation for your personal injuries. This is mainly because a party leaving the scene makes it harder to identify who might have been impacted, to protect certain legal rights, and to provide victims with the compensation they need to recover.

At Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson, LLP, we understand the challenges victims face in these situations and are here to help. Our experienced team of personal injury lawyers has a strong track record of successfully handling hit-and-run cases, helping victims recover the compensation they deserve. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your legal options and start the path to justice. 

Challenges in Hit-and-Run Cases

There are several challenges associated with general car accidents, but one or more parties leaving the scene before exchanging insurance information is especially problematic. If anyone takes off from a car accident site for anything other than medical attention, they are making it more difficult to access necessary and helpful information. This is because — without speaking with other essential parties or law enforcement — these individuals are inhibiting the law.

The following are difficulties associated with hit-and-run car accidents:

  • Difficulty in identifying the fleeing driver
  • Limitations in gathering evidence
  • Delays in receiving compensation due to unknown defendants
  • Requiring specific types of insurance coverage to receive compensation
  • Healing from injuries and bodily harm
  • Taking time off work to heal and abide by medical recommendations

While some of these challenges are shared with other types of accidents, a hit-and-run can introduce new problems for victims who are already in pain and concerned about their circumstances or well-being. If you have been involved in a hit-and-run car accident, especially one where you received serious injury, we encourage you to contact Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson, LLP. Our team can make your legal matters more straightforward to handle and reduce stress by tackling tasks on your behalf.
