Common Scenarios for Hit-and-Run Accidents

In some cases, a driver who causes a collision may leave the scene without stopping to provide assistance or exchange information. These crashes can occur in a variety of situations, including:

Pedestrian Accidents: A driver may strike a person who is crossing the street or walking alongside the road, and they may speed away rather than stopping to help.
Bicycle Accidents: In some cases, motorists may collide with cyclists and fail to stop to check on the damage that was done.
Rear-End Collisions: When a driver hits another vehicle from behind, they may flee before taking responsibility, especially if they believe the damage was minimal.
Parking Lot Accidents: Some drivers may hit parked cars and leave without leaving a note providing their contact information.
Multi-Vehicle Accidents: A driver who is involved in a chain reaction may not remain at the scene, believing that the others who were involved will take care of the details among themselves.

There are many reasons why drivers may flee the scene of an accident. A person may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and they may be attempting to avoid being arrested for DUI. A person may not have valid insurance or a driver's license. They may have been driving a stolen vehicle or committing another crime. They may fear that they could face criminal charges, or they may want to avoid financial responsibility. However, regardless of the reason, failing to remain at the scene of an accident is a serious offense in Virginia, and victims deserve justice for the harm they have suffered.

Catastrophic Injuries What to do After a Car Accident When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

Identifying a Hit-and-Run Driver

In some cases, it may be possible to identify the driver who fled the scene and hold them accountable. Our attorney can investigate the accident and determine whether it may be possible to uncover the driver's identity through:

Gathering Evidence: We can review surveillance footage from traffic cameras, businesses, or nearby homes to identify the fleeing vehicle. Debris left at the scene, such as broken headlights or mirrors, may also be used to help identify the vehicle.
Obtaining Witness Statements: By speaking to people who may have seen the accident, we may learn details such as the make, model, color, or license plate number of the vehicle.
Working With Law Enforcement: We can coordinate with police investigators to support their efforts in locating the driver.

If the driver is found, they may be held liable in a civil claim for damages, in addition to facing criminal penalties for leaving the scene of an accident.

Compensation Through Uninsured Motorist Coverage

If the hit-and-run driver cannot be identified, victims may still have options for financial recovery. Liability insurance policies include uninsured motorist coverage that applies in hit-and-run cases. This will allow victims to obtain compensation from their own insurance company, addressing their financial losses and providing the resources they need to move forward.

Although an uninsured motorist claim will be filed with the victim's own insurance company, the company may attempt to minimize the amount that will be paid out, or a claim may be denied. Our lawyer can handle communications and negotiations, working to protect our client's interests and obtain the full compensation available.

Our considerable experience and focus on personal injury law can give you a significant advantage, because we will use our knowledge and skills to protect your best interests. If insurers do not offer full compensation through settlement negotiations, Attorney Whitlock is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom.
