What Is a Hit-and-Run Accident?
The term “hit-and-run” describes an accident where you, as a victim, are impacted by another car or vehicle that then knowingly flees the scene of your collision. Hit-and-runs are considered violations of criminal law and exhibit incredible neglect on the part of the fleeing driver.
You should never pursue someone who is fleeing the scene of an accident. Doing so is dangerous. Instead, work with medical professionals to address any injuries you sustained and let police officers pursue a fleeing driver on your behalf. You can then reach out to an experienced Atlanta personal injury lawyer for support.
Our legal team doesn’t focus on the criminal aspect of your hit-and-run accident, but we do strive to offer you support throughout your recovery.
We are here specifically to help you demand financial support from the party responsible for your losses. Support from insurers and liable parties can help you pay to have your car repaired and your injuries treated.

Our Atlanta Hit-and-Run Accident Lawyers Handle the Civil Aspects of Your Recovery
You have the right to demand financial support from the party liable for your recent hit-and-run accident. You can work with our legal team to file an insurance claim with a liable driver’s insurer or pursue a personal injury claim against that driver.
Both processes allow you to elaborate on the value of your economic and non-economic expenses, provided that you have evidence of neglect on the part of the fleeing driver.
Working with an Atlanta hit-and-run accident attorney makes it easier to get your hands on that evidence, even if you’re recovering from serious physical injuries.
We are here to help you:
- Investigate the specific negligence that led to your collision.
- Provide evidence indicating that a liable party knowingly fled the scene of your collision.
- Elaborate on the economic and non-economic losses generated as a result of your accident.
- File an insurance claim with a relevant provider that meets all of the provider’s formatting requirements.
- Negotiate with a relevant insurance adjuster on your behalf.
- Uphold the value of your losses in conversations about your right to support.
- File a hit–and–run accident claim on your behalf before Georgia’s personal injury statute of limitations expires.
- Represent you in settlement negotiations.
- Preserve your right to take your civil hit–and–run case to court should the need to do so arise.
