Berks County Hit and Run Accident Attorney
Few events are as overwhelming as a hit and run accident. You’re left injured, confused, and facing costly medical bills — all while the person responsible disappears. At Wilk Law Firm, we believe victims should never be left without justice simply because a driver fled the scene.
Our Berks County hit and run accident attorneys are experienced in handling these challenging cases. Whether the driver is eventually found or remains unidentified, our team explores every legal avenue to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Pennsylvania Hit and Run Laws
Under Pennsylvania law, drivers involved in an accident are legally required to stop, provide their information, and assist anyone who is injured. When a driver fails to do so, it becomes a criminal offense — and a civil matter for the injured victim.
Hit and run accidents in Berks County often occur in:
- Busy intersections and highways
- Residential neighborhoods
- Parking lots and private properties
- Pedestrian and bicycle crossings
Even if the at-fault driver escapes, you still have options to seek justice.
Legal Options After a Hit and Run Accident
You may feel helpless after a driver flees, but our firm helps clients pursue compensation through:
- Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage:
Most insurance policies in Pennsylvania include UM protection, which can cover your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering if the other driver cannot be located. - Investigations and Evidence Recovery:
Our attorneys work closely with law enforcement to gather witness statements, review surveillance footage, and analyze police reports to identify the responsible driver. - Claims Against Additional Liable Parties:
In some cases, other parties — such as employers, vehicle owners, or businesses that served alcohol to the driver — may also share liability.
Our team leaves no stone unturned when fighting for your recovery.
Common Causes of Hit and Run Crashes in Berks County
Drivers often flee accident scenes out of fear or guilt. Some of the most common causes include:
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Distracted driving (texting, phone use, etc.)
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Lack of insurance coverage
- Fear of legal or financial consequences
Regardless of the reason, fleeing the scene is never acceptable — and our attorneys work tirelessly to hold negligent drivers accountable.
Injuries Commonly Caused by Hit and Run Accidents
The injuries resulting from hit and run crashes are often severe due to delayed medical attention and high-impact collisions. Victims may experience:
- Head and brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Severe burns or lacerations
- Wrongful death
At Wilk Law Firm, we ensure your recovery includes both immediate medical care and long-term financial stability.
Compensation Available to Victims
Victims of hit and run accidents may be eligible for compensation covering:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and loss of future income
- Pain and suffering

We fight to maximize your recovery, even when dealing with resistant insurance companies or complex policy language.
