Las Vegas Hit-and-Run Lawyer

Compensation for Negligent Driving

It is human nature to stop after an accident to make sure the other driver or pedestrian is all right. Yet every year people suffer serious injuries, or die, after being struck by a hit-and-run driver.

In almost every instance in which a driver flees the scene of a car accident, he or she has something to hide. Maybe the driver was driving too aggressively for road conditions or was distracted by a cell phone call or text message. In many cases, the hit-and-run driver was driving drunk.

Hit-and-run drivers, when found, can be held liable for the injuries their negligence causes. Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime. When the state prosecutes a driver for hit-and-run, the criminal case can yield important evidence that proves helpful in a civil personal injury lawsuit.

At Harris & Harris Lawyers, our Las Vegas hit and-run lawyers have a wealth of experience bringing guilty drivers to justice and getting compensation for injured people and grieving families. We represent clients in California, Utah and Nevada and we have the resources to represent out-of-state visitors injured in the Las Vegas area.

If you or a loved one was hurt in a hit-and-run accident, contact our Clark County law firm online or call 702-979-2391 for a free consultation.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

If the hit-and-run driver is not caught, then your injury claim may be covered by your own insurance company under your uninsured/underinsured motorist policy. If you do not know if you have uninsured motorist coverage, we can help you review your policy. If you do have coverage, we will gather the evidence needed to bring a claim to your own insurer.

A Track Record of Results

At Harris & Harris Lawyers, we limit our serious injury cases to those in which we believe we can make the most difference. Our clients appreciate the fact that they are not rushed through a "personal injury mill." Since 2005, we have recovered more than $18 million in compensation. We invite you to review some of the verdicts and settlements we've achieved.
