Hit and Run Accidents

HIT AND RUN CAR ACCIDENTS

The car accident attorneys of Madalon Law are here to help injury victims in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and other Florida counties.

ABOUT HIT AND RUN CAR ACCIDENTS

As bad as a car accident may feel, a hit and run accident just seems to be even worse. You are following the rules of the road and you are suddenly hit by another vehicle. Once the initial few seconds of absolute shock pass, you begin to do what most would naturally do (stop your vehicle, make sure you are ok, call the police, check to see the other driver is ok). Unfortunately, not everyone is as honest as you and will leave the scene of the accident.There are drivers that will hit another person and leave without stopping and rendering assistance. They will not check if you are ok. They will not check to see if you need medical attention. You could be left traumatized and injured. Who will pay for the medical bills? Who will pay for your lost wages? Who will pay for your damaged vehicle? In the unfortunate case of a hit and run death, who is going to compensate the family of the victim? It’s not right.

WHY HIT AND RUN DRIVERS LEAVE THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT

In Florida, drivers must carry car insurance in order to get a driver’s license. Unfortunately, there are drivers that once they have their license, they may drop their coverage or stop making their premium payments. Even though it is illegal to drive without insurance, uninsured motorists will continue to drive and figure it’s worth the risk because they probably wouldn’t get in an accident. Then it happens. Without auto insurance, drivers can be tempted to leave the scene of an accident.

STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT

Like any car accident, there are steps that need to be taken like making sure you are getting out of the car in a safe place and watch for oncoming traffic, calling the police, taking pictures of the scene, seeking medical attention and getting the statements and contact information from any and all witnesses.

But when the accident involves a hit and run driver, you must somehow gather yourself and get the best look at the other vehicle possible. The license plate number is the best piece of information, but may be difficult to see. If you miss the license plate, then try your best to catch the make and model of the vehicle, color, and any other identifying marks. Also, make sure you ask any and all of the witnesses what they saw.
