How We Handle Hit & Run Cases

Uninsured Motorist Claims

If the driver cannot be found, we help you file an uninsured motorist claim with your own policy—something most victims don’t realize is an option.

Investigation Support

We work with law enforcement, gather evidence, and pursue leads that may help identify the fleeing driver.

Medical and Wage Loss Recovery

We will seek compensation for your injuries, treatment costs, missed work, and pain—just like any other accident claim.

Negotiation with Insurers

Insurance companies often push back on hit and run claims. We stand firm and negotiate for the maximum settlement available under your policy.

Lawsuits Against Known Parties

If the driver is found, we will take immediate legal action to hold them fully accountable for your damages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hit & Run Accident FAQs

  • Can I still get compensation if the driver is not found?

    Yes. Most auto insurance policies include uninsured motorist coverage, which we can use to pursue compensation even if the other driver is never identified.

  • What should I do after a hit and run?

    Call 911, seek medical attention, and document the scene if you are able. Then, contact a lawyer—early action can make a major difference in your case.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    Under Illinois law, you generally have two years to file. But uninsured motorist claims can have even shorter deadlines—so do not wait.

  • Will filing an uninsured motorist claim raise my insurance rates?

    Not usually. Because you're not at fault in a hit and run, many insurers will not raise your rates—but every policy is different. We can help you understand your specific coverage and rights.

  • What if I was a pedestrian or cyclist in a hit and run?

    You still have legal options. We have helped pedestrians and cyclists recover through uninsured motorist coverage or other sources, even when the driver fled the scene.
