FAQ SECTION

Frequently Asked Questions About

Hit and Run Accidents

How long do I have to file a claim?

In New York, you generally have three years to file a personal injury claim. However, shorter deadlines may apply for uninsured motorist claims. Acting quickly ensures evidence is preserved.

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Yes. New York’s comparative negligence law allows you to recover damages even if you share some blame. Your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

What if there were witnesses to the hit and run?

Witness testimony can be crucial in identifying the driver or corroborating your version of events. Craig will gather statements and work with law enforcement to strengthen your case.

How can I recover compensation if the driver isn’t found?

If the at-fault driver cannot be located, you may file a claim under your uninsured motorist coverage. Craig Small will work with your insurance company to recover damages.

What should I do after a hit and run accident?

Call 911 immediately to report the incident and seek medical attention. Provide law enforcement with as much detail as possible about the fleeing vehicle, such as license plate numbers or identifying marks.
