HIT & RUN ACCIDENTS

No details. No driver. You still have a case.

Hit & runs can feel hopeless with so little information to go on - but we're here to help.

HIT & RUN ACCIDENTS

What Is A Hit & Run Accident?

A hit and run accident happens when a driver leaves the scene without stopping or providing their details. For motorcyclists, this can create uncertainty about what to do next and whether a claim is still possible. In this short video, our lead solicitor explains how hit and run accidents are handled and what riders should know.

HIT & RUN ACCIDENT CAUSES

How Do Hit & Run Accidents Happen?

Hit and run incidents can occur in a range of situations, from low-speed traffic collisions to more serious accidents. When a driver fails to stop, it can leave riders without immediate information about who was responsible.

Who Is At Fault In A Hit & Run Accident?

Responsibility in a hit and run accident still depends on how the incident occurred. The fact that a driver left the scene does not prevent a claim from being considered. There are several key factors we focus on with hit & run accidents.

  • Dashcam or helmet camera footage
  • Witness statements
  • CCTV or traffic cameras
  • Police reports
  • Vehicle descriptions
  • Location and road layout

These cases often require a proper understanding of real-world riding conditions, which is why many riders choose to speak to a specialist. Have you been in a hit & run incident? Tell us what happened and we’ll explain your options.

More questions? Get in touch
Do I have a claim if the driver didn’t stop?

A claim may still be possible even if the driver left the scene. Each incident depends on the circumstances, and options may be available where responsibility can be established through evidence such as witness accounts, camera footage or accident details.

What if I don’t have the driver’s details?

Not having the driver’s details does not necessarily prevent a claim. Information such as location, time, witness statements and any available footage may still help establish what happened. Each case is reviewed individually to determine what options may be available.

Should I report a hit and run to the police?

Reporting a hit and run incident is usually advisable, as it creates an official record of what happened. Police reports may also assist when gathering evidence. Keeping details such as time, location and vehicle description can be helpful.

What evidence can help a hit and run claim?

Evidence that may help includes photographs, witness details, helmet or dashcam footage, CCTV, and notes about the vehicle involved. Even partial information, such as colour or type of vehicle, may assist in understanding how the incident occurred.

What do I do after I've been in a hit and run?

If you are involved in a hit and run, seek medical attention if needed and, where possible, gather any information such as photographs, witness details and notes about the vehicle involved. Reporting the incident and preserving any camera footage may also help. You may also wish to speak to a specialist solicitor who understands motorcycle accidents. Getting in touch with us allows us to review what happened and explain your options.
