    Reasons Why People Commit Hit-and-Runs

    People commit hit-and-runs for various reasons, often driven by fear, panic, or self-preservation. Here are some common reasons:

    • Fear of legal consequences: Drivers may fear arrest, fines, or imprisonment, especially if they are under the influence, have a suspended license, or have prior offenses.
    • Panic and shock: The sudden impact of an accident can cause immediate panic, leading drivers to flee without thinking rationally.
    • Lack of insurance: Uninsured drivers may flee to avoid financial liability for the damages and injuries caused.
    • Intoxication: Drunk drivers or drivers under the influence of drugs may flee to avoid DUI charges, which carry severe penalties.
    • Unawareness: In some cases, drivers may not realize they have hit someone or something, especially in minor collisions.
    • Stolen vehicle: Individuals driving stolen vehicles may commit hit-and-runs to avoid getting caught for theft.
    • Fear of retaliation: Drivers might fear violent retaliation from the other party involved in the accident.
    • Personal issues: Some drivers may have personal reasons, such as immigration status or outstanding warrants, that make them afraid to interact with law enforcement.

    Understanding these reasons can help in addressing the root causes and implementing measures to reduce hit-and-run incidents.

    The Aftermath of a Hit-and-Run

    • The immediate aftermath of a hit-and-run accident can be overwhelming. Your primary concern should be your safety. Here are the crucial steps to take:

      • Seek medical attention: Regardless of the severity of your injuries, get checked by a doctor to document any damage. This will be vital for future insurance claims and potential legal action.
      • Report the accident: Contact the police immediately and provide a detailed account of the accident, including any descriptions you can recall about the hit-and-run vehicle.
      • Gather evidence: If possible, take pictures of the accident scene, your injuries, and any debris left behind.
      • Contact your insurance company: Inform your insurance company about the accident as soon as possible. Explain the hit-and-run nature of the incident and follow their instructions.

    The Fight for Compensation: Why Grover Law Makes a Difference

    Hit-and-run accidents can leave victims feeling helpless. However, you don’t have to fight alone. Grover Law Firm brings a wealth of experience and resources to the table:

    • Uncovering the Hit-and-Run Driver: Our personal injury lawyers will work tirelessly to investigate the accident and identify the perpetrator. We’ll use police reports, witness statements, and traffic camera footage to build a strong case.
    • Maximizing Available Compensation: Even without a clear culprit, you may still be entitled to compensation through your own insurance coverage (uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage) or Alberta’s Automobile Insurance Fund (AIAF).
    • Negotiating with Insurance Companies: Insurance companies can be challenging to deal with, especially in hit-and-run cases. An experienced personal injury lawyer at Grover Law Firm will fight for a fair settlement that reflects the full extent of your losses.
    • Taking Your Case to Court, if Necessary: If a fair settlement isn’t reached, we are prepared to represent you in court and fight for the compensation you deserve.

    Can I Still Be Compensated if the Hit-and-Run Driver Is Not Found?

    Yes, you can still be compensated if the hit-and-run driver is not found. In Alberta, the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Program (MVAC) provides compensation to victims of accidents involving unidentified or uninsured drivers. To access this compensation, you must report the accident to the police and make reasonable efforts to identify the driver. The MVAC covers medical expenses, loss of income, and other damages up to a specified limit. However, claims must be filed within a specific time frame, typically within two years from the date of the accident. Consulting with a legal professional can help ensure you meet all requirements and receive the compensation you deserve.

    Beyond Compensation: Supporting Your Recovery

    While compensation can help alleviate financial stress, it can’t erase the physical and emotional pain of a hit-and-run accident. Here’s how Grover Law goes the extra mile:

    • Compassionate Representation: We understand the emotional toll a hit-and-run accident can take. We handle your case with sensitivity and respect.
    • Connection to Resources: We can connect you with medical professionals, rehabilitation specialists, and other resources to help you on your road to recovery.
    • Empowering You Throughout the Process: We’ll keep you informed about every step of the legal process and ensure you understand your options.

    Case Results

    • I suffered a brain injury and other serious injuries when the car I was driving was struck by a semi-truck. In addition to my physical injuries I experienced psychological injuries and was wholly unable to do my job or live my life daily. The insurance company offered me $6,500.00 to settle my claim. Steve had my back and brought my case to mediation where he obtained $850,000.00 in compensation one month short of trial. Steve has the trucking expertise to understand the process and was available to me throughout the process. Would absolutely recommend Grover Law Firm to anyone that has been injured in a serious trucking crash.
