What is a Hit-and-run accident?
A hit and run accident occurs when one party involved in a collision flees the scene without stopping to provide identification or assist those who may be injured. Such incidents can be both emotionally and physically distressing, leaving victims grappling with unanswered questions about the responsible party. In the context of car accidents, hit and run cases can further complicate matters as the injured party seeks compensation for damages.
Legal Implications of Hit and Run Accidents
In many jurisdictions, including Louisiana, leaving the scene of an accident is a serious offense. It can lead to criminal charges, fines, and potential imprisonment. Beyond the immediate legal consequences, hit and run accidents can create challenges for victims pursuing insurance claims and seeking rightful compensation. Understanding the legal aspects of hit and run accidents is crucial for individuals navigating the aftermath of such incidents.

Common Hit-and-Run Accident Injuries
Hit and run accidents can result in a range of injuries, varying from minor to severe. Victims may experience physical harm, emotional trauma, and financial burdens due to medical expenses and property damage. Common injuries associated with hit and run accidents include:
- Neck Pain: Whiplash and related injuries
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Serious head injuries with lasting effects
- Spinal Injuries: Impacting mobility and quality of life
- Broken Bones: Resulting from the force of the collision
- Knee Injuries: Severe pain and joint instability
- Psychological Impact: The emotional toll of a hit and run accident should not be underestimated. Victims may experience anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), impacting their daily lives.
Our firm is committed to holding these drivers accountable for their actions.
Damages You May Recover After a New Orleans Hit and Run Car Accident
Every case is different, so you can’t get an estimate of what your case may be worth until a car accident attorney in New Orleans, LA, has examined your evidence. However, some recoverable damages victims may recover in car accident cases include:
- Medical expenses
- Rehabilitation costs
- Emotional distress
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
If your loved one did not survive the accident, your family’s loss might entitle you to recover specific damages associated with a wrongful death lawsuit, including:
- Loss of support and protection
- Loss of benefits and wages previously provided by the deceased
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral and burial expenses
Louisiana designates certain relatives to recover wrongful death losses after accident fatalities occur. Our auto accident lawyers can review these laws with you during a free consultation.
