What You Could Lose by Waiting to File a Claim

Every delay in a hit and run case costs you: physically, legally, and financially. We’ve seen victims spend weeks in hospitals without realizing the clock on their personal injury claims is already ticking. The insurance company isn’t going to wait. If you miss evidence deadlines, delay treatment, or allow key footage from the accident scene to disappear, your claim starts shrinking. The law gives you time, but the system quietly works against you from day one. And once the insurance claim is weak, the payout is too.

Extended hospital stays, multiple surgeries, or long-term medical treatment mean you’re facing more than just medical bills. You’re dealing with life changes that affect your income, career, and home life. We've handled personal injury lawsuits where lost wages alone totaled over $100,000. Factor in property damage, medical expenses, home modifications, or assisted care and you're looking at six- or seven-figure recovery needs. You only get one shot to file a clean, aggressive claim. We protect it from day one.

• These accidents often involve severe injuries and higher damages.

  Most run car accidents involve higher speeds, no warning, and no braking. That means more force and more damage. We regularly see severe injuries like brain trauma, broken bones, and permanent loss of mobility. These require immediate medical treatment, long-term medical assistance, and cost far beyond what most accident lawyers consider in early negotiations. Muller Brazil calculates real losses, medical bills, lost wages, long-term care and pushes to recover compensation that reflects the full cost. We build the case for maximum compensation, and we don’t stop until the numbers make sense for you.

• What our law firm does in hit and run cases.

  We don’t wait for the system to help you. We act before the run driver is caught, before adjusters stall, and before your evidence disappears. Our law firm runs parallel strategies: one to build the civil claim, and one to trace the fleeing vehicle. We review the scene of an accident, collect camera footage, and build the insurance claim fast, often before the police finish their report. Most car accident lawyers and run accident attorneys don’t move until a suspect is named. We don’t need a name to push your hit and run claim forward.

  We work with accident reconstruction experts, pull vehicle paint samples when possible, and identify alternate sources of coverage. That includes pressing your own insurance company through your uninsured motorist or underinsured motorist coverage. We manage all parts of the insurance claims process, including personal injury protection, collision, and liability. If the drivers flee, we still get your case moving and we don’t stop until you pursue compensation that reflects your injuries, costs, and losses. You don't get silence from us. You get a legal strategy built to win.

Helpful FAQs

• Can a hit and run lawyer help if I didn’t get the driver’s license plate?

  Yes. A skilled hit and run lawyer can still build a strong case even without the plate. What matters is proving that a crash occurred and that it caused bodily injury. We use surveillance footage, witness statements, and your police report to verify fault. From there, we work with your insurance coverage and pursue every path to obtain compensation, including uninsured motorist claims.

• Do hit and run accidents qualify as a criminal offense in Pennsylvania?

  Yes, leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense in Pennsylvania, especially when bodily injury is involved. But the criminal side doesn’t pay your bills. That’s where we come in. A personal injury lawyer helps you file your car accident claims against available insurance policies and identifies every responsible party in your case, regardless of whether they’re ever prosecuted.

• How much is a hit and run injury case worth?

  It depends on the extent of your serious injuries, your medical expenses, and any car wreck or property damage involved. These cases often require months of treatment and lost income. We calculate full losses and fight for fair compensation, including pain, treatment, and future costs. Most victims don’t realize that insurance coverage limits and legal tactics drastically affect your payout without strong representation.

• Should I speak to a lawyer even if I’m still recovering?

  Yes, and the sooner the better. Your legal team will begin building your case while you focus on healing. Most reputable run attorneys offer a free consultation, so there’s no risk to you. The earlier we get involved, the better we can preserve evidence and start pressing the insurance coverage channels needed to seek compensation.

• Why are hit and run injury cases treated more seriously by civil lawyers?

  Because they’re harder to win, and they often involve greater harm. We’ve worked with countless victims left with no help after a crash. These cases involve complex insurance battles, long-term injuries, and higher damages. A personal injury attorney with real trial experience is critical when the responsible party disappears. We prepare every case to fight hard, settle smart, and recover everything you’re owed.
