St. Louis Hit & Run Accident Lawyer

Have you been injured in a hit & run accident?

If you have been involved in an auto collision in which the other driver has fled the scene without providing their contact information, then that accident is classified as a hit & run. Common examples of hit & run accidents where the driver flees the scene include:

• Automobile accidents
• Bicycle accidents where the bicyclist is directly struck by a vehicle
• Bicycle accidents where the bicyclist is forced into an accident by the driving maneuvers of a motorist
• Accidents involving being run off the road, even if there is no contact
• Pedestrian accidents

In the aftermath of a hit & run accident, you can file a claim for damages with their insurance company, but this can often be a tricky proposition. Insurance companies will often try to deny claims delay payment or offer a much lower settlement than their injuries call for. That is why it is important to contact a St. Louis personal injury attorney if you have been injured in a hit & run, as we can provide the experience and skill necessary to better negotiate with your insurance company.
