Automobile Accident Attorneys

Laws in every state require a driver that has been involved in an automobile accident stop and exchange information with the others involved.

Failure to stop after an accident is called a "hit and run" and has serious consequences under the law. Hit and run is a very serious charge in most, if not all, states. A hit and run with damage to another vehicle will almost certainly be assessed damages and fines and criminal charges. Injuries to a person in a hit and run involve more serious charges and punishments. A hit and run involving a death is a felony under the law.

There are over 700,000 hit and run accidents in the United States each year. If you are the victim of a hit and run accident, call the police immediately. Include all pertinent information about the perpetrator you can in your statement to the police. Identify all witnesses that can provide additional information.

Some insurance policies do not cover damages incurred from a hit and run accident. If you were a victim of a hit and run accident you may be faced with physical and property damage losses and no way to pay for them.

If you or a loved one has been involved in a hit and run accident, please contact an automobile accident attorney in your area today so that an experienced attorney can advise you of how to protect your legal rights.
