Illinois Hit-and-Run Accident Lawyers

A hit-and-run accident is a type of automotive collision involving one or more vehicles, where the at-fault motorist does not stop at the accident scene.

The law in Illinois makes it clear that a driver who hits someone with a car or other motor vehicle needs to stop and stay at the scene. Failure to comply with this mandate can be considered a felony, and it adds significant risk to the other driver whose injuries can continue to worsen if no one else is nearby to help.

A hit-and-run is a reckless act. Most people would never simply drive away from an accident unless they had good reason. The majority of the time, hit-and-run drivers flee the scene because they are hiding something:

• Fault: When drivers know that it was their own speeding or distracted driving that caused an accident, they are more likely to flee.
• Lack of valid driver’s license or insurance: Fearing further legal trouble, unlicensed, uninsured, or underinsured motorists are common candidates for a hit-and-run.
• Alcohol: Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes for a hit-and-run.
