Houston hit-and-run accident lawyer Hogan Leatherwood

When a driver flees the scene of a crash, it’s more than reckless—it’s criminal. But just because the at-fault driver left doesn’t mean you’re out of options. At Leatherwood Law, we help victims of hit-and-run crashes recover compensation through all available avenues.

Whether you were a driver, passenger, pedestrian, or cyclist injured by a fleeing vehicle, we’ll fight to protect your rights and explore every path to recovery, including uninsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage and third-party liability.

Time is critical in hit-and-run cases. We’ll immediately launch an investigation, coordinate with law enforcement, and work to identify the driver—while simultaneously pursuing coverage through your own policy or other sources.

Common Hit-and-Run Scenarios We Handle

Rear-end collisions where the other driver fled
Pedestrians or cyclists hit by a driver who took off
Parking lot crashes with no driver information
Freeway crashes involving phantom vehicles
Hit-and-run injuries involving delivery or company vehicles
Fatal hit-and-run crashes

What Compensation Can You Recover in a Hit-and-Run?

Even if the driver is never identified, you may be able to recover compensation through:

Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage
Medical payments (MedPay) coverage
Health insurance or personal injury protection (PIP)
Property damage and rental reimbursement
Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
