Hit & Run Accident Lawyers in Richardson

More Than 100 Years of Combined Experience for Your Injury Claim

A fleeing driver can leave you without a name, insurance information, or a clear source of payment for medical care and vehicle damage. We represent injured people in Richardson and examine every available recovery path, including claims against an identified driver, uninsured motorist coverage, and other applicable insurance.

Early investigation matters because surveillance video can be overwritten, witnesses can become difficult to locate, and vehicle damage may contain useful evidence. We review the crash circumstances, available coverage, medical documentation, and any steps already taken with law enforcement or an insurer.

What to Do After a Richardson Hit-and-Run Crash

Get medical attention, notify law enforcement, and preserve as much information as you safely can. Calling the police is especially important when a driver leaves the scene, someone is injured or killed, or a driver may be uninsured.

Under Texas Transportation Code Section 550.021, a driver involved in a collision that causes or is reasonably likely to cause injury or death must stop, determine whether anyone needs aid, and remain at the scene. Section 550.023 addresses the required exchange of identifying and insurance information, as well as assistance to injured people.

Useful evidence may include:

• Crash documentation: The police crash report, photographs, location details, and notes about the fleeing vehicle.
• Independent accounts: Witness statements and contact information from people who saw the collision or the vehicle leave.
• Recorded footage: Dash-camera recordings and surveillance video from nearby homes, intersections, or businesses.
• Injury records: Medical documentation, treatment records, bills, and information about missed work.
• Vehicle evidence: Photographs, repair estimates, property damage records, and the damaged vehicle itself.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage for an Unidentified Driver

Uninsured motorist coverage may apply when a hit-and-run driver can’t be identified or doesn’t have insurance. Underinsured motorist coverage may apply when an at-fault driver has insurance but not enough to cover qualifying losses. Texas insurers generally must offer both forms of coverage, although policyholders may reject them in writing.

Coverage isn’t automatic. The policy terms, notice requirements, evidence of fault, claimed injuries, available limits, and insurer’s evaluation can all affect the claim. For some Texas hit-and-run claims, the policy may require physical contact with the unidentified vehicle, making a careful review of the policy and collision evidence essential.

We examine whether uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage is available, what the policy requires, and whether another policy or responsible party may be involved. We also assess communications with the insurer and the evidence supporting bodily injury and property damage claims.

What a Hit-and-Run Injury Claim May Cover

A vehicle repair payment doesn’t necessarily account for the full effect of a physical injury. Depending on the evidence, coverage, and applicable law, a personal injury claim may include reasonable medical expenses, future medical care, lost income, diminished earning capacity, property damage, physical pain, and emotional harm.

The availability and value of these damages depend on the facts of the collision. Medical and employment documentation, repair records, witness accounts, and evidence showing how the injuries affect daily life may all be relevant.
