Help With What Comes Next.
Who may cover your medical bills? What if you cannot work? What happens if the driver is never found? A legal review can help you understand potential claims, insurance coverage, and your next steps.
Injured drivers and passengers
Struck by a driver who left the scene while you were driving or riding.
Pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists
Hit on foot or by bike, where different insurance rules may apply.
Families after a fatal hit-and-run
Lost a spouse, parent, child, or loved one—family members may have a claim.
What Could Compensation Help Cover?
A hit-and-run can bring sudden costs and real uncertainty. A claim may seek recovery for both the financial costs and the human toll of the crash.
Medical bills and rehabilitation
Emergency care, surgery, hospitalization, imaging, therapy, and ongoing medical needs.
Lost income and ability to work
Wages lost while recovering and future earning capacity if injuries create limits.
Pain and the impact on daily life
Physical pain, emotional distress, scarring, and disruption to your everyday life.
Losses after a fatal crash
In a qualifying wrongful-death claim: sorrow, loss of companionship, reasonable funeral expenses, and loss of expected income.
The compensation available depends on the facts, the applicable law, and available sources of recovery. No amount or outcome can be promised.
What If the Driver Is Never Found?
You may still have options. Depending on your policy and the circumstances, uninsured motorist coverage may provide a path to compensation. Coverage requirements and reporting deadlines can matter, so do not assume you have no claim because the driver is unknown.
Call Lawrence Land to discuss the crash and any insurance information you have.
Do not delay: Virginia policies frequently carry strict notice terms after hit-and-run crashes.

Virginia Law Update
A New Law May Affect Qualifying Hit-and-Run Claims
Effective July 1, 2026, Virginia law allows punitive damages in personal-injury or death actions arising from conduct that constitutes felony hit-and-run. These damages are intended to punish qualifying conduct and are separate from compensation for losses.
Virginia caps total punitive damages at $350,000. This is a legal limit, not a typical award or a guaranteed payment. Whether the law applies depends on the circumstances of the case.
