In an ideal world, no one would ever leave the scene of an accident. Sadly, some people choose to try and escape their responsibility, even when it means leaving an injured person to suffer in their wake. When these horrific acts occur, justice must be served.
At the Law Firm of Kass & Moses, our motorcycle accident lawyers believe that hit-and-run offenders are the worst, and we do everything in our power to ensure they are brought to justice. No matter what your insurance coverage may be, we will fight to get you compensation that is fair and just for your injuries.
Immediately after taking your case we will reach out to the authorities and witnesses from your crash. We may be able to get video footage of the crash from nearby businesses, security cameras or others on the scene. This can help the police track down the errant driver.
Even if we are unable to determine who left the scene of the crash, we may still be able to get you compensation for your injuries. Motorcycle accident law is complex, and it can require a team of experts on your side in order to get the maximum compensation you are entitled to from the insurance company. No one needs to go it alone. Contact a motorcycle accident lawyer from the firm of Kass & Moses today at 1-800-MOTORCYCLE.
Hit-and-run incidents are one of the reasons we encourage all bikers to maintain ample uninsured/under-insured motorist coverage as part of their motorcycle insurance policy. This coverage is not very expensive and can protect you if someone leaves the scene of a crash.
We recommend that you carry as much uninsured motorist coverage as you can afford, but at least $300,000. Although that may seem like a lot of coverage, it is important to remember that injuries following a motorcycle crash are often severe and your medical bills may easily approach that figure.
Motorcycle accidents happen every day, and you never know when you will be hit. Even if you are safe when you ride your motorcycle, motorists are often distracted and unpredictable. The at fault driver too often leaves the scene of the crash, leaving your motorcycle accident case in a precarious position. We work to fight for your personal injury claim and get you compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
What to Do Following a Hit-and-Run Motorcycle Accident
- File a police report immediately – Even if the driver has fled the scene, you must file a police report as soon as possible after the crash, preferably from the scene of the crash. The police officer will be able to document the crash and may be able to find the driver. In addition, the police officer will document the scene of the crash and will complete a report of his or her findings.
- Get medical help as soon as possible after the crash – Even if you initially feel you can manage your injuries, it is important to understand that pain, bruising, and swelling can take hours or even days to develop. Also, people with concussions may initially feel fine or just be a little shaken up. It is always good to get checked out immediately following a crash. Failing to do so can put you at risk of exacerbating possible injuries. Also, insurance companies may say that your injuries were minor since you did not seek care.
