hit and run accident


Pedestrian

You might have been crossing the road, possibly at traffic lights or a pedestrian crossing and been knocked down by a hit and run driver, or perhaps you were simply walking along the pavement when a hit and run driver mounted the kerb and knocked you over.

Whatever the circumstances if you have been involved in an accident with someone who didn't stop after the accident and couldn't be traced then you might be able to claim compensation for the injuries you have suffered.

Driver

It might at first seem like an ordinary road traffic accident, after all hundreds of road traffic accidents happen every day to people just like you.

But then when the driver who caused the accident doesn't stop and they don't report the accident to the police you have been the victim of an accident involving a hit and run motorist. Sadly more and more accidents like this happen every day. In this situation you might be able to claim compensation for the injuries you suffered and your financial losses.

You have been the victim of a hit and run motorist and you might be able to claim compensation for the injuries and losses you have suffered.

Cyclist


This is one of the most common types of accident involving a hit and run driver. So often the driver either overtakes too close or just doesn't see the cyclist and the cyclist is knocked off and very often suffers serious injury. Whenever a car and a bike collide the cyclist will always come off worse.

Wearing a protective helmet and clothing will help lessen the extent of the injuries you sustain in many types of accident. In so many cases it is just not possible to take down the registration number of the vehicle that caused the accident and sadly in so many cases the driver leaves the scene without stopping and without reporting it to the police.

Passenger on public transport

On the train you might be injured when the driver has to take evasive action suddenly when a car driver jumps the level crossing and then drives off without stopping. If you sustain an injury because of a hit and run driver we can help you.
