Experienced Representation for Hit and Run Claims
Being injured by a driver who flees the scene is frightening and infuriating, and it can leave you wondering how you will ever be compensated. At Howe.Law Injury and Accident Lawyers, we help hit and run victims across Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi find a path to recovery even when the at-fault driver cannot be found. In many cases, your own uninsured motorist coverage provides compensation for exactly this situation, and we work to identify every source available to you.
Time matters in hit and run cases. Quick action can help locate the fleeing driver through video and witnesses, and it also protects your ability to file an uninsured motorist claim, which often comes with strict notice requirements.
Common Hit and Run Scenarios
Hit and run crashes happen in many settings, and drivers flee for reasons ranging from a lack of insurance to impairment. Common scenarios include:
- Drivers who are uninsured or driving unlawfully
- Impaired drivers trying to avoid arrest
- Parking lot collisions where the driver leaves
- Pedestrians and cyclists struck by a fleeing vehicle
- Sideswipes and rear-end crashes at intersections
- Drivers who panic after causing a crash
Common Hit and Run Injuries
The injuries from a hit and run are just as serious as any other crash, and victims are often left without immediate answers. We represent clients with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, whiplash, and severe soft tissue damage. Pedestrians and cyclists struck by a fleeing driver frequently suffer the most catastrophic harm.
How We Handle Your Hit and Run Case
We move immediately to help identify the driver, gathering surveillance and traffic camera footage, canvassing for witnesses, and working with the police investigation. At the same time, we pursue your uninsured motorist coverage and any other applicable policies so you are not left paying for someone else's crime. We document your injuries fully, handle the insurer, and are prepared to litigate to secure everything you are owed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if the driver who hit me was never found?
You may still be able to recover compensation even if the driver is never identified. Most auto policies include uninsured motorist coverage, which is designed to protect you when the at-fault driver flees or has no insurance. This coverage can pay for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We also continue working to identify the driver through video footage and witnesses. Our attorneys know how to build a strong uninsured motorist claim so a fleeing driver does not leave you without a remedy.
Will my insurance rates go up if I file an uninsured motorist claim?
In general, filing an uninsured motorist claim after a hit and run should not raise your rates, because you were not at fault. Uninsured motorist coverage is part of the protection you already pay for, and using it for a crash caused by someone else is exactly its purpose. Insurers cannot lawfully penalize you for a claim where another driver was to blame. If your insurer treats you unfairly or delays your claim, our attorneys can step in to protect your rights and hold them accountable.
How long do I have to file a hit and run claim?
Two deadlines matter in hit and run cases. The general statute of limitations depends on the state, with Georgia allowing about two years, Tennessee as short as one year, and Mississippi generally three years. Separately, uninsured motorist claims often have their own strict notice requirements that can require reporting the crash to your insurer very quickly, sometimes within days. Missing either deadline can cost you your recovery, so it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible after the crash.
What should I do after a hit and run?
Try to note anything you can about the fleeing vehicle, such as the make, color, and any part of the license plate, and write it down right away. Call the police so there is an official report, which is often required for an uninsured motorist claim. Look for witnesses and nearby cameras, and take photos of the scene and your injuries. Get medical care promptly, and report the crash to your own insurer. Then contact an attorney to protect your deadlines and your coverage.
How much does a hit and run lawyer cost?
Howe.Law handles hit and run cases on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Our fee is a percentage of what we obtain, whether from an identified driver or through your uninsured motorist coverage, so we only get paid when you do. This lets you pursue your claim without any financial risk during a stressful time. Your initial consultation is free and carries no obligation.
