Hit-and-Run Injury Law Firm

In an instant a car accident can bring life-altering injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured and the person responsible for your injuries flees the scene, a bad situation is made even worse. If you have been injured by a hit-and-run driver and you cannot find the person responsible for your injuries, you have the right in most instances to uninsured motorist coverage under your own policy or the policy on the vehicle you were in if riding with someone else whose vehicle was insured.

At the law firm of Henry & Williams, our lawyers have had the opportunity to serve many people in and around Springfield and West Plains Missouri who have been injured by hit-and-run drivers. Hit-and-run accidents can take place under many different circumstances. For many people, the first thing that may come to mind is when a driver hits another car, bicycle or pedestrian and leaves the scene of the accident without providing information. In other cases, a motorist may swerve into a car's path and force the driver of the other car off the road without making any contact with your vehicle. A driver does not have to make contact with your vehicle to be responsible for your injuries.

Under Missouri law, whether or not any physical contact is made with you or your vehicle, or an unidentified driver who is responsible for an accident, is presumed to be uninsured thereby giving you the right to make a claim against your uninsured motorist policy. For example, if any oncoming motorist is on the wrong side of the highway, runs you off the road and then leave the scene you have the right to request payment of the uninsured motorist coverage of your own policy even though there was no contact between your vehicle and the vehicle which ran you off the road. If you or a family member have been injured by a motorist who left he scene of the accident and you have automobile insurance, contact our office and see if our auto accident attorneys can assist.
