Houston Hit and Run Attorney
Compensation for Hit and Run Accidents
If you have been injured in a hit and run accident, contact a Houston car accident attorney from Kennedy Hodges, LLP for legal advice, and to discuss your rights to personal injury compensation.
Any driver that is involved in a car accident is legally required to:
- Remain at the scene of the accident
- Render aid and contact emergency services
- Exchange contact information with the other driver when possible
A driver that leaves the scene of an accident is guilty of the criminal offense of hit and run. Many of these drivers have either been drinking, are under the influence of drugs, do not have car insurance or are driving on a suspended license. Witnesses to the accident will usually be able to provide police with sufficient information to find and arrest the driver. If there are no witnesses, there often other ways law enforcement can identify the vehicle operator. A hit and run driver will not only face criminal charges, but can also be held liable for any damages resulting from the accident. Our firm can provide the aggressive representation you will need if you were injured in a hit and run, and will vigorously pursue any compensation you are due. This can include filing a claim with the driver's insurance carrier, or initiating a civil lawsuit for monetary damages. It may be necessary to seek compensation from your own insurance company, which after years of faithfully paying premiums, could still offer ridiculously low levels of compensation. This should be addressed and negotiated by our legal team.
