Being injured by a driver who flees the scene is a uniquely frustrating and frightening experience. In Alpharetta, hit and run crashes are all too common on GA-400 and busy commercial roads. Howe.Law Injury & Accident Lawyers specializes in tracking down hit and run drivers and navigating the complex Uninsured Motorist (UM) claims that often follow, ensuring that victims in North Fulton County are not left paying for another person's cowardice.
The two-year deadline for Alpharetta hit and run claims
Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. In a hit and run case, however, the first 48 hours are the most important. We work with private investigators and local law enforcement to canvass the area for security footage, witness accounts, and vehicle parts that can help identify the fleeing driver before the trail goes cold.
Accessing Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage
If the hit and run driver is never found, your primary source of recovery is the Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage on your own auto policy. In Georgia, this coverage is designed to step into the shoes of the missing driver's insurance. We review your policy to ensure you access every dollar you are entitled to for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
How Georgia's 50 percent bar applies to hit and run cases
Georgia's modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) still applies. Your own insurance company may try to argue that you were partially at fault for the crash to reduce their payout. We use the evidence from the scene to prove the other driver's negligence and protect your right to full compensation under your UM policy.
Punitive damages against hit and run drivers
Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime in Georgia. If the driver is identified, their decision to flee can be used as evidence of a reckless disregard for your safety, which may allow you to seek punitive damages on top of your ordinary recovery. We fight to hold these drivers fully accountable for both the crash and their decision to run.
Serving victims across North Fulton and Forsyth Counties
Our Alpharetta team represents hit and run victims in Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek, and Roswell. We understand the specific investigative resources available in North Fulton and use them to build the strongest possible case for our clients.
Reports, medical care, and filing your claim
A hit and run is a criminal investigation handled by the Alpharetta Police Department or Georgia State Patrol. We coordinate with law enforcement and help you secure the official crash report. We also assist in gathering medical documentation from local providers like Wellstar North Fulton to prove the extent of your injuries for your insurance claim.

Common questions
What should I do immediately after a hit and run?
First, stay at the scene and call 911. Second, write down everything you remember about the vehicle (make, model, color, partial license plate) and the driver. Third, look for witnesses and ask if they took any photos or video. Fourth, seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel okay. Finally, contact a lawyer before calling your insurance company.
Will filing a UM claim raise my insurance rates?
Under Georgia law, your insurance company generally cannot cancel your policy or raise your premiums for filing a UM claim if the crash was not your fault. You pay for this coverage precisely for situations like a hit and run.
Should I chase the driver who hit me?
No. It is dangerous to pursue a fleeing motorist, and doing so can lead to further collisions or altercations. Instead, pull over safely, call 911 immediately, and write down any details you remember about the vehicle or driver.

We represent injury victims across Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi in a wide range of accident and injury cases.
