Hit-and-Run Car Accidents

Legal Assistance for People Seriously Injured in Washington Hit-and-Run Motor Vehicle Accidents

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, or if you have had a loved one killed, in a Washington hit-and-run motor vehicle accident, you may be seeking answers to your legal questions. The Farber Law Group, a Bellevue personal injury legal practice, may be of assistance to you.

Hit-and-Run Pedestrian and Car Accidents

Leaving the scene of a car accident is a crime in Washington State. The law requires that a person who is involved in a car accident stop and exchange information with the other party. In the case of an injury, the driver is required to stay at the scene until legal and medical authorities arrive. To leave an accident is both morally wrong but is also a class B or class C felony and can result in fines and a jail sentence.

If you have been the victim of a hit-and-run accident, not only have you been traumatized but you are likely to feel worse wondering how a person could hit you or your loved one and drive off. In addition, you are left with injuries and worry over your medical bills, lost wages, and, in the worst case, how your family will be compensated if a loved one was killed.

Washington Hit-and-Run Accident Assistance

The Farber Law Group has helped people who have been seriously injured in car accidents for more than 30 years. We have helped people with serious injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, whiplash, bone and fracture injuries, and internal injuries receive compensation for their medical costs, lost wages, and disability and for pain and suffering. In addition, we have helped families with their wrongful death claims when a loved one has been killed.

Washington Hit-and-Run Accident Lawyers

The Farber Law Group can help answer the myriad of questions you might have including, Who will pay my medical expenses? Whose insurance will pay for my costs?

In many cases, the hit-and-run driver is eventually found due to eyewitnesses to the accident. In this case, your personal injury attorney can help you seek compensation in civil court.

If the person who hit you was in a work vehicle at the time of the accident or was in the course of his/her employment, you may be able to pursue a claim against the vehicle's owner or employer.

If the hit-and-run driver is not found, your uninsured motorist cover should cover your injuries and medical benefits, however, in this case, your compensation for pain and suffering may be limited.
