Pedestrian hit-and-run accidents are traumatic, but victims still have options. Uninsured motorist coverage and thorough investigations can provide compensation. KP Law Group knows how to pursue every available path to recovery.
Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents Are Increasing
Atlanta has seen a rise in pedestrian accidents, and hit-and-run cases are among the most devastating.
Victims are often left:
- Seriously injured
- Without driver information
- Facing mounting medical bills
- Unsure where to turn
Leaving the scene is a crime — but it also creates legal complexity for victims seeking compensation.
Can You Recover Compensation If the Driver Is Never Found?
Yes, in many cases.
KP Law Group frequently pursues uninsured motorist coverage, which may apply through:
- Your own auto insurance policy
- A household family member’s insurance
- Certain commercial or rideshare policies
Many people don’t realize this coverage exists until we review their case.
Why Immediate Action Matters
Evidence disappears quickly in hit-and-run cases.
Our investigations often include:
- Traffic and surveillance camera footage
- Witness statements
- Vehicle debris analysis
- Police reports
- Footage from nearby businesses
The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case becomes.
Common Injuries in Pedestrian Hit-and-Runs
- Broken bones
- Head and traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Permanent disability
- Emotional and psychological trauma
These cases often involve long-term recovery and substantial compensation.
What To Do After a Hit-and-Run
- Call 911 immediately
- Seek emergency medical attention
- Document everything you can
- Obtain the police report number
- Contact KP Law Group as soon as possible
Do not assume you have no case just because the driver fled the scene.
