Arizona Hit and Run Accident Attorneys
Attorney Representation in Phoenix, Arizona Since 1996
There are few accidents more dangerous or upsetting than a hit and run accident. Getting into any kind of motorcycle collision is serious enough, of course, but the stakes grow inexorably higher when the assailant flees the scene without exchanging any information. In many cases, incidents of this sort can lead to criminal charges and significant fines against the other driver. In cases involving catastrophic injuries or major property damage, however, jail time is almost certain. It is not uncommon to feel helpless in the wake of an anonymous attack like this, but it is equally important to seize the reins and act to defend yourself.
What should you do if you are the victim of a hit and run? Job one is to stabilize your own health, of course, particularly if you aren't yet sure of the extent of your motorcycle hit and run injuries. If you are lucid and able, however, you will also want to pay close attention to everything you see, including the make, model, and partial plate of your assailant. If you cannot gather such information at the scene, don't worry, however good forensic techniques and the possibility of surveillance or eyewitness testimony may help to catch your assailant quickly.
Once the offending parties have been identified and charged, it is time to recover what you deserve. Many of these cases proceed like conventional personal injury cases past this point, meaning you will pursue damages for any number of expenses: medical care, medical therapy, loss of income, loss of productivity, and pain and suffering. This last category may increase significantly in the wake of a hit and run, however, as the trauma of being injured by such a grossly negligent party can inspire juries to assign major punitive damages.
It all starts with retaining an effective Arizona motorcycle crash attorney.
