Delaware County Hit and Run Accident Attorney
A hit and run accident can leave victims feeling helpless, angry, and overwhelmed. When the driver responsible for your injuries flees the scene, it can feel like justice is out of reach. However, with skilled legal representation, you still have strong options for recovery.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Delaware County hit and run accident attorneys help victims pursue compensation through thorough investigation, insurance claims, and aggressive advocacy. Even if the at-fault driver remains unidentified, our firm fights to ensure you are not left paying for someone else’s negligence.
Understanding Hit and Run Accidents in Pennsylvania
Under Pennsylvania law, any driver involved in a crash must stop, provide information, and offer assistance to anyone injured. Fleeing the scene is a criminal act — but it’s also a devastating betrayal to the injured victims who are left behind.
Hit and run accidents in Delaware County can occur anywhere, including:
- Intersections and traffic signals
- Pedestrian crosswalks and school zones
- Parking lots and residential streets
- Highways like I-95, Route 1, and Route 476
Our attorneys investigate every angle to find the responsible party and hold them accountable.
Your Legal Options After a Hit and Run Crash
Even when the driver disappears, there are several paths to financial recovery:
- Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage:
Most Pennsylvania auto insurance policies include UM coverage, allowing you to recover for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering if the fleeing driver is never found. - Police and Private Investigations:
Our team collaborates with law enforcement, reviews traffic camera footage, and interviews witnesses to identify the vehicle and driver. - Other Liable Parties:
If the hit and run driver was operating a company car, working on behalf of an employer, or impaired after leaving a bar, we pursue additional claims against those entities.
At Wilk Law Firm, we explore every legal strategy to protect your rights and maximize your recovery.
Common Causes of Hit and Run Accidents in Delaware County
Drivers flee accident scenes for many reasons — most of them tied to negligence or fear of consequences. Common causes include:
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Distracted driving (cell phone use, texting, etc.)
- Reckless speeding or red-light running
- Driving without a valid license or insurance
- Panic or fear of arrest
No matter the reason, leaving an injured person behind is unacceptable — and we’re here to ensure those responsible are held accountable.
Common Injuries in Hit and Run Crashes
Because victims in hit and run cases are often left without immediate aid, injuries can be severe or life-threatening. These may include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal bleeding and organ injuries
- Soft tissue damage and whiplash
- Wrongful death
At Wilk Law Firm, we ensure every injury is fully documented to support your case for maximum compensation.
