When you are hit by a driver who then does not stop to exchange information about the accident, you've been involved in a "hit and run." A driver who leaves the scene of a hit-and-run accident has committed a criminal act. You may not know the other driver, but there is never a legitimate reason not to stop for an accident.
With these types of accidents, victims often have difficulty getting compensation for hit-and-run injuries or property damage because the person to blame cannot be tracked down. Drivers may leave the scene because they don't have auto insurance, or a driver's license. Also, they may have an outstanding warrant for their arrest.
If you were a hit-and-run victim, turn to experienced lawyers. If you are represented by Metzger Wickersham, the tough negotiators at our firm will fight hard to get everything you are owed to compensate you for your medical costs and other losses.
