CASE HIGHLIGHTS
Millions Recovered for Accident Victims
Physical Impacts of Hit-and-Run Accidents
Common injuries resulting from hit-and-run accidents include:
Whiplash
A neck injury caused by a sudden back-and-forth movement of the head, often resulting from rear-end collisions.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
A blow to the head that can cause a wide range of cognitive, emotional, and physical impairments.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Damage to the spinal cord, which can result in paralysis, loss of sensation, and chronic pain.
Broken Bones and Fractures
Ranging from minor to severe and requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Internal Injuries
Damage to internal organs, leading to potentially life-threatening complications.
No matter what kind of injury you’ve sustained, you’ll likely be able to pursue some kind of compensation if you were the victim of a hit-and-run.
Financial and Emotional Toll of a Hit and Run
The financial consequences of a hit-and-run can also be devastating. The costs of emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, medication, physical therapy, and ongoing medical treatment can quickly add up. If your injuries prevent you from working, you may lose significant income. Furthermore, repairing or replacing your vehicle can be expensive.
Not only do hit-and-run victims have to cope with physical injuries and property damage, but they also have to deal with the emotional distress of knowing the person responsible has fled the scene and may never be held accountable. The trauma of the accident, the uncertainty of finding the at-fault driver, and the financial burden can all contribute to emotional distress, anxiety, and even post-traumatic stress disorder.

Why Do Drivers Flee the Scene?
There are several reasons why a driver might flee the scene of an accident. For one, drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs may panic and flee to avoid DUI charges. If they’re unlicensed or uninsured, they may flee to avoid other penalties or legal consequences.
Some drivers with outstanding warrants or a history of criminal activity may flee to avoid being arrested.
Finally, in some cases, drivers may be in shock after an accident and flee without thinking clearly.
Regardless of the reason, leaving the scene of a car accident is a crime in Nevada. Hit-and-run drivers can face serious penalties, including fines, license suspension, and even jail time.
Establishing Fault When the Driver Is Unknown
While it may seem challenging to prove fault when the driver has fled the scene, our Las Vegas hit-and-run accident lawyers have experience in investigating these cases and using various methods to identify the responsible party.
We may be able to:
- Track down the at-fault driver: We can use witness statements, surveillance footage, and other evidence to identify the vehicle involved and potentially locate the driver.
- File a claim with your own insurance company: If you have uninsured motorist coverage (UM) or underinsured motorist coverage (UIM), you may be able to file a claim with your own insurance company to cover your losses.
- Pursue a claim with the state's uninsured motorist fund: In some cases, you may be eligible to file a claim with Nevada's uninsured motorist fund.
Accomplishing these tasks is difficult on your own, but it’s what we do best. Put your case in our hands, and let us help you pursue justice.
What Damages Can You Claim After a Hit-and-Run Accident?
Depending on the circumstances of your hit-and-run accident, you may be eligible to recover compensation for:
Medical Expenses
Past and future medical costs, including hospital bills, doctor visits, surgery, medication, physical therapy, and rehabilitation.
Lost Wages
Income lost due to your injuries and time away from work.
Property Damage
The cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle.
Pain and Suffering
Compensation for the physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish you've experienced as a result of the accident.
Finally, if a loved one was killed in a hit-and-run car accident, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim to recover damages for funeral expenses, loss of income, and loss of companionship.
What to Do After a Hit-and-Run Accident
If you’re involved in a Las Vegas hit-and-run accident, take these steps:

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still file a claim if the police couldn’t find the driver?
Yes, you may still be able to file a claim with your own insurance company under your uninsured motorist coverage or underinsured motorist coverage.
What if I was a passenger in a car that was involved in a hit-and-run accident?
As a passenger, you still have the right to file a car accident claim for your injuries, even if you don’t know who the at-fault driver is. You can file a claim with the driver’s insurance company (if they have insurance) or your own insurance company (if you have UM/UIM coverage).

Do not engage with the other driver. Instead, contact your attorney immediately. Your lawyer can advise you on how to proceed and protect your rights.
