Kansas City Hit & Run Accident Lawyer
Call (816) 867-8611 Now to Fight for Your Right for Financial Compensation
In Missouri State law, it is strictly illegal for a person to leave the scene of an accident in which they caused injury to property or persons without first providing their name, place of residence, motor vehicle number, and driver's license identification. Despite the obvious illegality of leaving the scene of a hazardous collision, hit & run accidents do frequently occur. If you have been struck by another driver who then dashed away before you could collect their information, know that there is still hope.

Seeking Justice and Fighting On Your Behalf
While law enforcement frequently does track down and prosecute hit and run offenders, the criminal penalties they might face do not take care of the property damage or personal injuries you have suffered. When you work with one of our attorneys, we can construct a solid case for you that aims to reward you with the maximum recovery possible for your case. By filing a civil lawsuit against the perpetrator separate from any criminal trials they could be facing, we can give you the chance you need and deserve.
When we represent you, we could win you a settlement that helps pay for:
- Repairs or replacement of your automobile
- Medical bills for your injuries
- Rehabilitation program fees for spinal cord injuries
- Wages lost as you recover
- Long-term health care after a traumatic brain injury
- Emotional trauma caused by the wrongful death of a loved one
In situations where the negligent driver disappeared and could never be identified – including when you come back to your car in the parking lot only to find a massive dent in it – there are still ways our Kansas City car accident attorneys can assist you. We know how to negotiate with your insurance company to ensure that you are not being offered an unfair settlement. After all, you should get the recoveries you deserve, regardless of who ultimately provides it.
