Bucks County Hit and Run Accident Attorney
A hit and run crash is one of the most devastating types of accidents a person can experience. One moment you’re driving safely — the next, you’re struck by a vehicle that disappears without stopping to help. These cases leave victims with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and unanswered questions about justice.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Bucks County hit and run accident attorneys understand the confusion and frustration that follow these incidents. Even when the responsible driver can’t be located, you still have powerful legal options to recover compensation. Our team fights tirelessly to ensure you aren’t left carrying the burden of another driver’s recklessness.
Understanding Hit and Run Laws in Pennsylvania
Under Pennsylvania law, any driver involved in an accident must stop, exchange information, and assist injured parties. When a driver flees the scene, they commit a criminal offense — but their escape doesn’t eliminate your right to justice.
Our Bucks County personal injury lawyers handle all types of hit and run crashes, including:
- Rear-end or side-impact collisions
- Pedestrian or cyclist accidents
- Parking lot or property damage hit and runs
- High-speed or drunk driving collisions
- Fatal hit and run cases
We pursue every available avenue — from insurance claims to independent investigations — to secure the compensation you deserve.
How Victims Can Recover Compensation After a Hit and Run
Even if the driver is never identified, Pennsylvania law provides several ways for victims to recover damages:
- Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage:
Your own insurance policy may cover injuries and property damage under UM coverage, designed specifically for situations like hit and runs. - Police Investigation and Private Evidence Review:
Our team collaborates with law enforcement, reviews surveillance footage, and interviews witnesses to help identify the fleeing driver. - Claims Against Other Liable Parties:
In some cases, additional negligent parties — such as employers, vehicle owners, or contractors — may share liability.
With Wilk Law Firm on your side, you don’t have to face the uncertainty alone.
Common Causes of Hit and Run Accidents in Bucks County
Most hit and run crashes are caused by reckless or impaired drivers trying to avoid accountability. Common factors include:
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Distracted driving or cell phone use
- Speeding or reckless maneuvers
- Lack of insurance coverage
- Fear of arrest or license suspension
Regardless of the reason, fleeing the scene is inexcusable — and our attorneys ensure those responsible are held accountable whenever possible.
Injuries Commonly Sustained in Hit and Run Collisions
Victims of hit and run crashes often suffer severe and lasting injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Soft-tissue or internal injuries
- Facial disfigurement and burns
- Wrongful death
We work closely with medical experts to document your injuries and prove the full extent of your damages.
