Overview
When a driver flees the scene, it can feel like there’s no one left to hold responsible — but that’s rarely the whole story. We know how to use your own uninsured motorist coverage and available evidence to pursue full compensation, even when the at-fault driver is never found.
Why This Practice Area Matters
Most hit and run claims rely on your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, since Georgia requires drivers to carry it unless they’ve rejected it in writing. We confirm your coverage and pursue it aggressively.
Common Causes
- Driver Fear of DUI Arrest
- Suspended License or No Insurance
- Stolen Vehicles
- Panic After Causing Injury
- Criminal Flight
- Distracted or Impaired Driving
Compensation You May Recover
- Medical Expenses
- Lost Wages
- Pain and Suffering
- Property Damage
- Uninsured Motorist Recovery

Hit and run cases require fast action — locating witnesses, requesting nearby surveillance footage, and confirming your own insurance coverage before evidence disappears. We move immediately so a fleeing driver doesn't mean an empty claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover compensation if the driver is never found?
Often yes, through your own uninsured motorist coverage if you carry it and you reported the accident promptly to police and your insurer as your policy requires.
Will my insurance rates increase after a hit and run claim?
That depends on your insurer and policy, but you generally should not be penalized for a claim caused by someone else's fault, especially a fleeing driver.
What if the hit and run driver is later identified?
If the driver is found and has insurance, your claim may shift to pursue their policy directly, potentially in addition to your own UM coverage depending on the circumstances.
