Philadelphia County Hit and Run Accident Attorney
A hit and run crash can leave victims feeling shocked, helpless, and uncertain about what to do next. When the driver responsible for your injuries disappears, the road to justice can seem impossible. However, with the right legal help, you still have powerful options.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Philadelphia County hit and run accident attorneys help victims pursue every possible path to compensation — from uninsured motorist coverage to aggressive legal investigation to identify the at-fault driver. Our mission is to protect your rights and ensure you are not left paying for someone else’s negligence.
Understanding Hit and Run Accidents
Under Pennsylvania law, all drivers involved in a crash are legally required to stop, provide identification, and assist anyone who is injured. When a driver flees the scene, they commit a serious criminal offense — and leave victims struggling with medical bills, vehicle repairs, and lost income.
Hit and run accidents in Philadelphia County can occur in many forms, including:
- Rear-end collisions where the driver speeds off
- Pedestrian or bicyclist impacts
- Parking lot or sideswipe accidents
- Crashes involving drunk or distracted drivers
- Severe collisions causing major injuries or fatalities
Even when the at-fault driver cannot be found, victims still have rights.
Your Legal Options After a Hit and Run Accident
If the driver who hit you fled the scene, there are several potential ways to recover compensation:
- Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage:
Your own car insurance may cover your injuries and property damage under Pennsylvania’s UM policy — even if the other driver is never located. - Identification and Pursuit:
Police reports, surveillance footage, and witness statements can help identify the fleeing driver. Once found, they can be held liable through a personal injury lawsuit. - Other Liable Parties:
In some cases, other drivers, businesses, or vehicle owners may share responsibility. Our team investigates every angle to ensure no avenue for recovery is missed.
Our attorneys work tirelessly to uncover evidence, track down the driver, and secure every dollar available to you.
Common Injuries in Hit and Run Crashes
The injuries from hit and run accidents are often severe, since victims are left without immediate help. Common injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Soft-tissue injuries and whiplash
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Wrongful death
Wilk Law Firm ensures that your recovery covers both your short-term treatment and your long-term medical needs.
Compensation Available to Hit and Run Victims
Victims of hit and run crashes may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and diminished earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Emotional trauma and anxiety
- Wrongful death damages (for surviving families)
We fight for full and fair compensation through insurance claims or civil litigation.
