Hit & Run Accidents in Chicago โ€” Your Legal Options

Hit and run accidents are tragically common in Chicago, leaving victims confused and uncertain about their options. The good news: even if the at-fault driver is never found, you may still have multiple avenues to recover compensation. Uninsured motorist coverage, the Illinois Vehicle Hijacking and Motor Vehicle Theft Anti-Crime Trust Fund, and other remedies may all be available. Our attorneys identify every possible source of recovery and pursue it aggressively.

Acting Quickly Is Critical in Hit & Run Cases

Hit and run cases require immediate action. Security camera footage gets overwritten, witnesses move on, and physical evidence at the crash scene disappears fast. Our attorneys dispatch investigators immediately to gather evidence, canvass for cameras and witnesses, and work with law enforcement to identify the fleeing driver โ€” dramatically increasing the odds of full recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about your case โ€” then call us for a free, personalized consultation.

Yes. If you have uninsured motorist (UM) coverage on your own auto policy, it applies to hit-and-run accidents even if the driver is never identified. Illinois law also requires UM coverage be offered with every auto policy. Our attorneys help you navigate your UM claim for maximum recovery.
Absolutely and immediately. A police report is critical for insurance claims and for the investigation. Report the accident, provide any description of the vehicle or driver you can, and note the time and location precisely. Then call an attorney.
This significantly improves your case. With a plate number, law enforcement can often identify the driver, making a traditional liability claim possible in addition to any UM claim you may have filed. Contact us immediately with any witness information.
UM claims typically must be reported to your own insurer promptly โ€” often within 30-60 days per your policy terms. The general personal injury statute of limitations is 2 years, but UM policy deadlines can be much shorter. Contact an attorney right away.
