Hit-and-run crashes leave you injured, on the hook for medical bills, and staring at empty information. We track down the driver through traffic cams, witnesses, and DMV records. When the driver can't be found, we activate your uninsured-motorist coverage so you still get paid.
Madison Law Firm PLLC · 579 5th Ave, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10017
We canvass for witnesses, pull DOT and private security camera footage, file police-report follow-ups, and work with NYPD investigators. Most hit-and-run drivers are identified within weeks — not months — when someone is actively pushing the investigation.
Even if the driver is never found, your own auto policy (or a household member's) has uninsured-motorist coverage that pays for hit-and-run injuries. We file the claim, negotiate with your carrier, and fight if they undervalue your case.
Medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care costs are all recoverable through either the at-fault driver's policy or your UM coverage. We don't settle until your treatment is complete and the full picture of damages is known.
Every case is different. The recoverable damages depend on your injuries, the insurance available, and the facts of your case.
Uninsured-motorist (UM) coverage is required on every NY auto policy. If you were hit by someone who fled — or someone with no insurance — your policy pays. Don't assume you have no claim just because the other driver is gone.
Insurance adjusters call quickly after a hit-and-run claim is opened, looking for recorded statements that lock in low value. Politely tell them your attorney will follow up. Then call us.
NYC's DOT cameras and most private security systems overwrite recordings within 30-90 days. Footage that could identify the driver disappears unless someone formally requests preservation. We move on this immediately.
We answer 24/7. Free consultation. No fee unless we win.
