Hit & Run Accidents
Has You Or Someone You Know Been Involved In A Hit & Run Accident?
Accidents can happen to anyone. But when someone causes a collision and flees the scene, leaving behind injured victims, it’s more than negligence — it’s a criminal offence and a violation of the Highway Traffic Act.
Whether the victim is another driver, a cyclist, or a pedestrian, failing to remain at the scene — especially when someone is injured — is both dangerous and unlawful.
Why Do Hit and Runs Happen?
In our experience, at-fault drivers flee the scene for various reasons:
They’re unlicensed, uninsured, or driving with a suspended license
They’re under the influence of alcohol or drugs and want to avoid DUI charges
They panic, are in denial, or fear legal consequences
Whatever the reason, fleeing the scene puts lives at greater risk by delaying critical medical care — and there is no excuse for it.
What Happens After a Hit and Run?
In many cases, the driver is eventually caught.
Police investigations — often aided by media coverage — lead to the release of vehicle details and suspect descriptions, prompting public tips and swift enforcement action.
Hit and run accidents can lead to serious injuries, including:
Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Broken bones and fractures
Chronic pain and psychological trauma
The most important priority after a hit and run is getting prompt medical attention and legal support.
What If the At-Fault Driver Is Never Found?
Many clients worry they can't pursue a claim if the driver is unknown. Fortunately, in Ontario, all auto insurance policies include coverage for uninsured and unidentified drivers.
That means your own insurance provider will step in to:
Compensate you for pain and suffering
Cover lost income and future earning potential
Reimburse medical expenses and rehabilitation costs
Address other legal claims related to your accident
You are still entitled to justice — even if the at-fault driver is never identified.
