Common Causes of Hit and Run Collisions in San Francisco

Hit and run accidents occur with alarming frequency in San Francisco, often leaving victims to deal with devastating consequences. While each case is unique, certain factors and circumstances tend to motivate drivers to flee the scene rather than face responsibility for their actions:

  • Driving under the influence
  • Outstanding warrants
  • Suspended license
  • No insurance coverage
  • Stolen vehicle
  • Fear of criminal charges
  • Previous DUI convictions
  • Expired registration
  • Drug possession
  • Panic and poor judgment
  • Mental health crisis

How Can a Car Accident Lawyer Help Your Claim?

When you’re the victim of a hit and run accident, you may wonder if hiring an attorney is truly necessary for your case. After all, if the driver fled the scene and hasn’t been identified, what can a lawyer really do? The answer is quite a lot—and having legal representation can make all the difference in these complex cases.

Unlike standard accidents where both parties remain at the scene, hit and runs require specialized investigative approaches to identify the fleeing driver. Your lawyer from Choulos, Choulos & Wyle will immediately deploy accident reconstruction experts, canvas for surveillance footage from nearby businesses, and work with law enforcement to analyze paint transfers and debris patterns that could help identify the vehicle make and model. 

We know how to quickly subpoena traffic camera footage before it’s deleted and can coordinate with witnesses while memories are fresh. Our firm will also analyze the available insurance coverage to determine alternative sources of compensation if the driver cannot be identified.
