Chicago Hit & Run Attorneys

Illinois Auto Accident Lawyers

 Hit and run is not a term reserved just for vehicles in motion. Hit and run accidents include any collision in which there is damage to another vehicle (including a parked car), person or property - and the person causing the collision flees the scene with leaving any notice about who was the driver. By running away, the driver does not meet his obligation to you, the victim, but the law puts the advantage squarely on the side of the victim.
