Hit and run accidents occur when a driver involved in a collision leaves the scene without providing information or rendering assistance. These incidents happen in various circumstances:
Truckers exceeding hours-of-service limits or driving while exhausted, significantly slowing reaction times and decision-making abilities.
Trucking companies failing to adequately train drivers on safety protocols or putting inexperienced drivers in challenging situations.
Brake failures, tire blowouts, or steering malfunctions resulting from inadequate maintenance or inspection practices.
Unbalanced loads that shift during transport, causing jackknifing, rollovers, or loss of control in emergency situations.
Commercial drivers using phones, adjusting navigation systems, or completing paperwork while behind the wheel.
Truck drivers facing tight delivery deadlines who exceed speed limits or make dangerous maneuvers in traffic.
Hit and run accidents create unique legal challenges that demand knowledge and experience. Without the at-fault driver’s information, victims often face skeptical insurance companies and complex claims processes that can lead to denied coverage or inadequate compensation.
Our attorneys understand the nuances of these cases, including how to pursue uninsured motorist claims, work with law enforcement to identify fleeing drivers, and identify alternative sources of compensation when the responsible party cannot be found.

After a hit and run accident, prioritize your safety by moving to a secure location if possible, then call police immediately to file an official report.
Document everything you can about the fleeing vehicle, including make, model, colour, direction, and any visible portion of the license plate. Take photos of your vehicle damage, the accident scene, and injuries.
If applicable, gather contact information from witnesses and note any nearby surveillance cameras that might have captured the incident.
Finally, report the incident to your insurance company with only basic facts, then contact a hit and run accidents lawyer before giving recorded statements. Acting quickly improves your chances of identifying the driver and preserving crucial evidence for your claim.
