About Hit-and-Run Accidents
Hit-and-run pedestrian accidents are devastating because victims may not know who hit them, complicating the claims process. These accidents often occur at night or in areas with few witnesses. Even if the driver is never found, victims may recover compensation through their own uninsured motorist coverage or crime victim compensation funds. Law enforcement investigation and surveillance footage are crucial.
