Hit and Run Accidents

Injured in an Hit and Run accident? We handle the legal fight—so you can focus on healing.

Being involved in a car accident is traumatic enough—but when the other driver flees the scene, it leaves you with even more questions and fewer immediate answers. At Mahdavi Law Firm, we help victims of hit and run accidents hold wrongdoers accountable and pursue every available path to compensation. If you’ve been left injured and alone after a crash, we’re here to stand by your side.

Our team is experienced in handling complex hit and run cases throughout Texas, helping injured clients navigate the insurance system and the legal process with confidence.

What Is a Hit and Run Accident?

A hit and run accident occurs when a driver causes a collision and then intentionally leaves the scene without stopping to exchange information or provide aid. This is a criminal offense in Texas, but unfortunately, it happens all too often—especially in cases involving uninsured drivers, drunk drivers, or individuals trying to avoid legal consequences.

Victims of hit and run accidents may feel helpless, but Texas law provides options. Even if the at-fault driver is never identified, you may still be entitled to compensation through your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage or other legal avenues. At Mahdavi Law Firm, we explore every strategy to ensure you’re not left paying for someone else’s recklessness.

What to Do After a Hit and Run Accident in Houston

If you’ve been hit by a driver who fled the scene, your safety is the top priority. Call 911 immediately to report the crash and request medical help if needed. Try to remember any details about the fleeing vehicle—make, model, color, license plate, or direction of travel. Witnesses may also have information that can help identify the driver.

Do not attempt to follow the fleeing vehicle, as this could put you in danger. Instead, focus on gathering evidence, taking photos, and speaking with law enforcement. Then, contact Mahdavi Law Firm as soon as possible. We can help initiate a proper investigation and deal with the insurance process on your behalf.

How We Help Hit and Run Victims

Hit and run cases require quick action and a strong understanding of how to pursue compensation when the at-fault party is unknown. We assist with:

Filing claims through UM/UIM coverage
Investigating the accident and gathering evidence
Coordinating with law enforcement and private investigators
Identifying third-party liability (e.g., bar liability in DUI cases)
Negotiating with insurers and taking legal action if needed

Even if the driver is never found, you may be eligible for financial recovery to cover your medical bills, lost wages, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering. We fight to make sure your rights are protected and that you aren’t left paying out of pocket.
