This post is for safeguarding the rights of pedestrians, knowing what are their rights and when it is necessary to contact a pedestrian accident lawyer. If you get ill fated and get yourself in a pedestrian accident in big and crowded cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia or San Francisco, there will be requirement of contacting a lawyer or an attorney who has an experience in pedestrian accident cases. These big cities specially have more pedestrian related accidents because of the number of people live there per square mile. In New York there are 26,403.8 people live in one square mile area alone. After NY, San Francisco is second with 16,632.4 people living per square mile, then is Chicago with 12,752.2 and on the forth place is Philadelphia with 11,232.8 people in on mile square.
With so many people in just one square mile area is too much and that is why these cities provide conditions to make pedestrian accidents happen at a high rate. Most of these accidents include injuries and a lawyer of pedestrian accidents can speed up the process of compensation for your damages. In many cases it’s not the vehicle driver who is at fault, there are dangerous and flawed intersections, which create the circumstances for having these accidents more frequently. In this case of flawed intersections, city or the state is responsible to make the compensations.
Let’s have a look at the some statistics related to pedestrian accidents:
If you are wondering how much pedestrian accidents have their share in over all traffic related accidents, its 1 every 10 accidents means they have 10% share in all vehicle accidents happen in United states. Pedestrian accidents have a share of fatality rates of 11% in all traffic related accidents. These accidents have a 7% of mortality rate in 70,000 deaths caused by pedestrian accidents each year indicated by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The data released by them indicates that the adults are at the bottom of the causality rate and children are at the top. The pedestrian accident lawyer or attorney is always helpful to be contacted at the earliest especially when it involves children who are normally not liable to give better observations and considered to make road errors while crossing intersections.
Pedestrian accidents at Unsafe Intersections:
Intersections account for a major proportion of the collisions which resulted in injuries and mostly these collisions include pedestrians too. There are a high number of unsafe intersections in big cities we discussed like NY and San Francisco, Los Angelis and Philadelphia. The factors which make an intersection unsafe are but not limited to:
-Improper design of the intersection
-Absence of traffic signs or signals
-Absence of merging lanes
-Short period of interval between pedestrian don’t walk sign
-Lacking of marked turning lane
The above factors in conjunction with other factors make intersections very dangerous for pedestrians.
Reasons for Pedestrian Accidents:
To help out in finding the reasons of these accidents for pedestrian accident lawyers, here is the list which includes some of the reasons:
-DUI or DWI
-Driver not taking traffic and weather conditions
-Not following traffic rules
-Not observing traffic signals
-Not attentive drives, talking on mobile phones or talking to companions
-Speeding vehicles
-Vehicle drivers not giving pedestrians their right of way
Consequences of a Pedestrian Accident:
In big crowded cities of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Los Angeles, the pedestrian accidents may include under mentioned injuries or even death:
-To least these accidents give you mental stress and anxiety
-Can be temporarily incapacitated -
-May include head injuries
-Disfiguring face or body
-Fractured bones
-Even permanent disability
While we have seen how devastating a pedestrian accident can be, there is a need to put a typical process which pedestrian accident lawyers follow. This will show you how much work it is required to be done by a pedestrian accident lawyer in order to get the claims settled by them for their clients:
Investigation and initial paper work:
If your accident lawyer deems it necessary, he is going to hire an investigator to establish the cause of the accident and find out all aspects of having this accident to occur. The investigator will also record statements by witnesses and will make report to your lawyer or attorney. Your accident lawyer or attorney may also hire an expert so that the extent of error by the defaulter can be ascertained. Your pedestrian accident lawyer will make a list of all the necessary documents he require and gather them up through the expertise he hired or will do himself, will also file all reports and the bills of all this expenditure which will determine your final claim. The lawyer or attorney will make sure that all the required forms have been filled by the witnesses of the case and the doctors involved.
Medical treatment monitoring by your lawyer:
It is important for your lawyer or attorney to make sure that what treatment you get and from whom. If you do not have a medical insurance your lawyer will help you in arranging a health provider who can give you treatment and will only ask for money after you get the compensation. The narrative report is what your pedestrian injury lawyer was looking for; he will get it from the doctor who attended you.
Keeping up with communications by your lawyer:
After going through a pedestrian or any kind of accident, it is hard for a person to keep himself focused and pay attention to the frequent communication required by the concerned authorities and you. If you have secured an accident lawyer or an attorney you need not to worry because he will take care of all that. Your lawyer is responsible for making all the required communication on your behalf and keep you abreast of all what is happening through a secure communication line i.e. email, fax or phone and sending you required forms and court documents through registered mail. If you have a case against the state or the city government, it is more than necessary to have an in time correspondence including the insurance company.
Representation by your lawyer in Negotiating and litigation processes:
There will be instances where you will require making negotiations with outer agencies like insurance companies, your lawyer is going to be representing you and will handle it more professionally to get the most of the situation. This process includes a claim putting up in front of the insurance company and negotiation over that, if this process is unsuccessful, your pedestrian accident injury lawyer will start a litigation process. The unsettled claim will make your lawyer act as your litigation attorney and make your case ready for the arbitration, mediation or a proper trail.
If by hard luck you get injured in a pedestrian traffic accident, getting over this accident definitely requires pursuing your claim and deserved settlement through a personal injury lawyer or attorney who has experience in pedestrian related accidents normally called as pedestrian accident lawyers or pedestrian injury lawyers.
To your safety

Vehicle Accident Situation Assessment
In the series of 9 posts in which we will look all the aspects of what to do and what not in a vehicle accident, this one is the second of them. The first of this series was Hit and Run Law and Lawyer. In today’s post we will discuss the situation assessment of a vehicle accident.
For me, sitting in front of my laptop under very comfortable conditions, it is very easy to say that you need to be focused and present minded to assess the accident you have just been through. Obviously I am not the one who just saw a speeding vehicle coming right towards me and thought that the end of my life has come and I am going to die. I am also not the one who experienced the impact of the collusion with that vehicle which exploded my wind shield on me and left me with awful injuries. I know that keeping the advice to stay calm is very hard between the turmoil of a vehicle accident. But what you can do which is a practical way of describing my advice is that you need to get over the shock of the accident as soon as possible and get your senses back for the things you need to do for minimizing the damages caused by this undesirable incident.
Medical Condition Evaluation:
After getting back your senses you need to evaluate your medical condition. Obviously if you went to an unconscious state only to wake up in a hospital room, you will not be able to do all that but if you were conscious, it is required that you assess your medical condition. If you are severely injured, and can feel that you have injuries on your head, neck or spinal cord, try not to move and wait for some help to arrive. Because trying to move in the scenario of having injuries on these parts of body can go worse if not handled properly. You may have to move even with these injuries in the situation that urges you to move immediately out of your car, for example if your car catches fire. In that case you need to move out of your vehicle immediately to a safer place.
In case of a serious accident which has left you with bad injuries, you can take comfort from the fact that in these severe accidents most of the work will be done by police. You need not to worry about anything, police will work out everything for you and you can get the report from them later to report to your insurance company and your vehicle accident lawyer or attorney.
In most of the cases the vehicle accidents are not that severe to make you unable to move so in most of that cases you can move around to do the assessment of the accident. Take few seconds to feel your medical condition and to see if you can move, if you can get out of the car then what next you need to do is totally dependent on the circumstances of the accident.
Prioritize your strategy after the vehicle accident:
You need to prioritize your strategy and see what is most urgent. It can be helping a badly injured person, calling an ambulance or police etc. Usually people who have witnessed the accident will come to help you and others involved in the accident. When many people come at once and try to help the situation many a times the most important thing is left aside for instance people may start helping injured persons and all will assume that someone might have called the ambulance. To avoid situation like this you better take charge of the situation and put the help party on tasks. You can ask few to divert the traffic from the scene; if you still have your cell phone working with you, call the ambulance and police or ask someone to do that. Keep comforting the injured through some of the helping people around. However while all this is happening you should be observing the accident scene and should try to make your mind for the chronological order of happenings which will help in police assessment of establishing the responsibility for the accident. This will eventually help you in giving details to your vehicle accident lawyer or attorney for a better compensation for your damages.

Hit And Run Accident Lawyers
In today’s post we will look into some of the Hit and Run cases of significance, reported by hit and run lawyers. We will see how hit and run law is dealing with suspected drivers, how the trend is increasing and the rising irresponsible behavior in our society.
Boy got Hit and run by a Driver:
Injury lawyers from Los Angeles have reported an accident of a young boy got hit by a driver of a truck and ran away from the scene of the accident. It occurred in the locality of Florence Avenue, adjacent to Figueroa Street on Monday morning around 9am.
According to the brother of the injured boy, the driver who was in his late 20’s, got out of his vehicle tried to pretend that he is making a phone call from his cell phone, got back into the vehicle and fled the scene of the accident without leaving any information. The injured kid sustained a broken leg and other minor injuries. Although the fleeing driver had been noticed by the people there and his license number has been noted, the guy has been noted as a black male.
This behavior is not at all favoring the driver, if he was thinking that he can get away with it, he is totally wrong. The cops are going to nab him sooner rather than later, so why hit and then run. The only thing good in situation like these is to show some responsibility and help the victim of your accident. Let’s take another incident:
A Hit and Run Car Driver struck Students:
LA hit and run lawyers have reported and sad accident of two USC students hit by a Black Honda Accord car in which one sustained injuries and the other was fatally injured. Los Angeles police department’s Jimmy Render stated that a back car ran a red light and struck the students when they were walking on the designated crosswalk of the intersection of Jefferson Boulevard and Hoover Street.
The 19 years old Adrianna Bachan, a resident of Santa Barbara had sustained fatal injuries from the accident, was taken to the hospital where she succumbed to her injuries and died.
The other student was thrown on the hood of the vehicle had some serious injuries, named Marcus. Was a resident of Scottsdale Arizona. He was carried to the hospital in stable condition, suffered broken legs and an arm.
Now that was insanely stupid of the driver of that Honda accord or corolla because making an accident which includes a fatality and running is just like signing a prison contract for a good period of time. These drivers just have to think that someone can hit them or their loved ones and flee the way they had done.
Now see in this incident how a hit and run driver couldn’t get away with his crime and got arrested.
Hit and Run Driver Arrested:
According to reports by personal injury lawyers in LA, a suspected driver of Hit and Run has been arrested who flee the scene after hitting a mother, her infant and a five year old.
The driver of a 1991 Honda, made a hit and run at around 1130 pm in the locality of Westlake on Sunday. The infant in the accident was fatally injured and the mother and the 5 years old had some serious injuries. The driver of the car was arrested by the Los Angeles Central Traffic division police detectives just few hours later. The arrested man was identified as Henry Moreno 30, resident of South gate LA. The police say that he driver was driving under the influence when the incident happened. The mother was pushing a stroller at Bonnie Bare Avenue at Olympic Boulevard when the accident happened. The driver Henry abandoned his car at Staples Center and fled.
The moral of the incident is that one cannot get away with the wrong doing of a hit and run. When one does that even an experienced hit and run lawyer cannot save them as it is always suspected after a runaway driver that they were driving under the influence.

Train Accident Lawyer help
There are more than 1400 injuries which are reported from train accidents in the US which definitely leads to hiring a train accidents lawyer, because these types of accidents are not do it yourself things. Although train accidents are not a very usual thing in a common person life, as a matter of fact we don’t think about trains much, despite the fact trains restlessly go back and forth around the country, cities and towns, everywhere. Having known the importance of trains in our lives it cannot be denied that these trains pose threat to human lives every time they pass by a railway crossing. The interactions between a train and other vehicles be it car, trucks or any other, are limited to these railway crossings only. Despite this very rare crossing point between train and other vehicles there are astonishing high number of accidents relating to trains and humans driving other vehicles which usually result in damage to personal property, injuries and deaths. In fact there is surprisingly very high number of fatalities involved in train accidents; a study conducted showed fatalities more than 1000 and more than 1500 injuries to people. The high numbers of deaths are because of the huge structural mass of the trains, they don’t stop at once and in the momentum they sweep away the vehicles in their way.
The reasons behind Train accidents:
The size of a train tells us what a complicated machine would be which drags that bigger iron made structure. These huge size vehicle needs to be operated by none other than an experienced driver, who can ensure the safety of all including his own by his qualification and training. There are errors involved in happening of every accident same is the case with trains. Sometimes these errors are made from trains and their drivers and sometimes the people getting in the way of trains. There are many things which can go wrong causing a train accident resulting in injuries and deaths. The most frequent causes are:
Human error: driver misjudgment for signals, carelessness, from train driver or the vehicle crossing the railway line.
Machinery failure: This also can happen at both ends the train and the vehicle crossing.
Poorly maintained railway tracks: This cause is a straight disaster for the whole train; sometimes this derails the whole train, resulting in catastrophe.
Safety Provided by Railway Department:
There are many safety arrangements done at the rail road crossings to prevent the collusions between trains and other automobiles which certainly result in human causalities. There are signs and signals, sound and visuals to caution people crossing the railway line. There are safety gates which are lowered to stop any vehicle crossing at the time of train approaching the crossing. These measures alert the train driver as well as the other automobile drivers to pay attention of the big happening in front of them. These two methods for curbing the train and other vehicle accident rate have been very significant.
Railroad crossing Accidents and Fatalities:
The number of railroad crossings throughout the United States is more than 250K. This large number brings the number of accidents happening at railway crossing high and there are various reasons to those accidents. These accidents turn to disaster many a times and result in many fatalities, injuries and damaged property. In 2003 alone, more than 400 people died and more than 1000 injured in train related accidents. A study showed that kids under age 16 share more than 36% of train related injuries. California is 3rd in railway crossing related deaths and 5th in injuries.
Causes of Train Accidents:
There are numerous causes related to railroad accidents as we discussed earlier but the main cause is one which is ‘Human Negligence’. Although it is the railway department responsibility to make sure that there are adequate safety warning and equipment available at every railway crossing but there is human negligence involved in maintaining them properly at some places which leads to these accidents. The warning systems, lights, sirens, gates all should be working properly and if there is error in that working, the victim of the train accident is on the advantage and must be compensated for his or her damages. The train accident lawyers are the ones who can compensate affected people in the professional way as these cases require experience and knowledge of the subject.
There is sometimes negligence involved from people crossing the railway line. Railway companies are almost always very quick in blaming the automobile drivers and kids who in their mind try to beat the approaching train but miss it. As a victim of this type of accident always remember that though there was a negligence involved from your side but still it was the responsibility of the train company to restrict the path of any vehicle on the track at the time of approaching train.
How to find you can file a Train Accident Claim?
There you have slightest of an idea about a negligence from train company, you can file a claim for you losses. You can claim for you medical expenses, loss occurred to your income, damage to your property, pain and sufferings caused by that incident. Your train accident attorney will work best for your interests and get you the best for your losses.
The negligent attitude from train companies is evident from a recent report which many accident lawyers from Phoenix know that there have been many train related accidents in Arizona lately because of the dangerous railway crossings there. The train crossings at the Grand Avenue and 27th Avenue intersections have been under federal railroad administration observation since 2002; same goes for Grand and 35th Avenue also for Thomas and Grand Avenue. The negligence is evident from the fact that there have been 30 train accidents on those crossings in just 3 years of time period. Obviously the government needs to be more active in taking remedial measures for cutting the rate of accidents on those dangerous rail crossings. Due to lack of safety people heading to those crossings put their lives at serious risk. The measures which are being done are not nearly enough to save people’s lives. It is always easy on the authorities’ part to simply put the blame on the vehicle drivers in every accident happening in Arizona. For these many train and motor vehicle accidents happening in Phoenix there is much need and call of the hour for concrete efforts to be made for saving the lives of innocent people.
Seeking a train injury attorney is very important and should be understood that there may be some cases where train may not be t fault but the intersection is built such that makes the accident inevitable.
Seeking a Train related injury Lawyer:
Finding a good train accident attorney is what you need in you have been out of luck and have gotten into a train related accident. The lawyer will investigate and will make sure that the person and the family of victim gets the best help and compensation for the wrong full deaths or injuries. The train accidents lawyers can be found on the internet easily for your particular area. If you are looking for one in California for instance, you can find them in Escondido, Orange County, Palm Springs, Ontario, Yorba Linda and other counties and cities like San Diego.
You need to remember one thing before contacting a personal injury lawyer to wait for the National Transportation Safety board investigation report. Once that is made public only then it will be easier for you to understand your position in filing a claim. The problem with these reports is that these can take more than 6months in preparation and you only have got 6months time from the time of the accident to file your claim.
Your hired attorney will prepare a demand package which contains all medical bills, analysis of the injured individual claim and records. This demand package will still be prepared by an attorney if a family is filling a claim for their loved one’s wrongful death. This package will also provide an analysis of the economic loss to the family of the deceased. Many a times people make mistake of recording statements made by risk management adjuster, a lawyer will guide you why not to do that or what to say when making it.
Hiring the first lawyer which you come across is not advisable. There are literally hundreds of websites representing specific locations. You need to make a decision of choosing the best suited lawyer to you. Contact few of them to see the response as the lawyer with the luxurious office may be well established but may not be very energetic and driving. You require an attorney who can focus on your case and is able to give you attention. Select the attorney who you feel confident in working with. You also have to make sure that the attorney you choose is not representing others in the same case this may trigger the conflict of interest that you do not want.
While there is good news that former President Bush signed a Railroad Safety Improvement Act of 2008 which will require Train Control Automated Braking System for Class one railway lines by 2015.
While this will definitely improve present safety arrangements and eventually save the lives of innocent people, people who have been to any railroad accident in the near past, should take up their case and file their claims through selecting a good train accident lawyer on the criteria I have discussed above. I hope that this post will help you in many ways, if you have any specific questions you can contact me through the comment section.

These accidents turn to disaster many a times and result in many fatalities, injuries and damaged property. In 2003 alone, more than 400 people died and more than 1000 injured in train related accidents. A study showed that kids under age 16 share more than 36% of train related injuries. California is 3rd in railway crossing related deaths and 5th in injuries.
Causes of Train Accidents:
There are numerous causes related to railroad accidents as we discussed earlier but the main cause is one which is ‘Human Negligence’. Although it is the railway department responsibility to make sure that there are adequate safety warning and equipment available at every railway crossing but there is human negligence involved in maintaining them properly at some places which leads to these accidents. The warning systems, lights, sirens, gates all should be working properly and if there is error in that working, the victim of the train accident is on the advantage and must be compensated for his or her damages. The train accident lawyers are the ones who can compensate affected people in the professional way as these cases require experience and knowledge of the subject.
There is sometimes negligence involved from people crossing the railway line. Railway companies are almost always very quick in blaming the automobile drivers and kids who in their mind try to beat the approaching train but miss it. As a victim of this type of accident always remember that though there was a negligence involved from your side but still it was the responsibility of the train company to restrict the path of any vehicle on the track at the time of approaching train.
How to find you can file a Train Accident Claim?
There you have slightest of an idea about a negligence from train company, you can file a claim for you losses. You can claim for you medical expenses, loss occurred to your income, damage to your property, pain and sufferings caused by that incident. Your train accident attorney will work best for your interests and get you the best for your losses.
The negligent attitude from train companies is evident from a recent report which many accident lawyers from Phoenix know that there have been many train related accidents in Arizona lately because of the dangerous railway crossings there. The train crossings at the Grand Avenue and 27th Avenue intersections have been under federal railroad administration observation since 2002; same goes for Grand and 35th Avenue also for Thomas and Grand Avenue. The negligence is evident from the fact that there have been 30 train accidents on those crossings in just 3 years of time period. Obviously the government needs to be more active in taking remedial measures for cutting the rate of accidents on those dangerous rail crossings. Due to lack of safety people heading to those crossings put their lives at serious risk. The measures which are being done are not nearly enough to save people’s lives. It is always easy on the authorities’ part to simply put the blame on the vehicle drivers in every accident happening in Arizona. For these many train and motor vehicle accidents happening in Phoenix there is much need and call of the hour for concrete efforts to be made for saving the lives of innocent people.
Seeking a train injury attorney is very important and should be understood that there may be some cases where train may not be t fault but the intersection is built such that makes the accident inevitable.
Seeking a Train related injury Lawyer:
Finding a good train accident attorney is what you need in you have been out of luck and have gotten into a train related accident. The lawyer will investigate and will make sure that the person and the family of victim gets the best help and compensation for the wrong full deaths or injuries. The train accidents lawyers can be found on the internet easily for your particular area. If you are looking for one in California for instance, you can find them in Escondido, Orange County, Palm Springs, Ontario, Yorba Linda and other counties and cities like San Diego.
You need to remember one thing before contacting a personal injury lawyer to wait for the National Transportation Safety board investigation report. Once that is made public only then it will be easier for you to understand your position in filing a claim. The problem with these reports is that these can take more than 6months in preparation and you only have got 6months time from the time of the accident to file your claim.
Your hired attorney will prepare a demand package which contains all medical bills, analysis of the injured individual claim and records. This demand package will still be prepared by an attorney if a family is filling a claim for their loved one’s wrongful death. This package will also provide an analysis of the economic loss to the family of the deceased. Many a times people make mistake of recording statements made by risk management adjuster, a lawyer will guide you why not to do that or what to say when making it.
Hiring the first lawyer which you come across is not advisable. There are literally hundreds of websites representing specific locations. You need to make a decision of choosing the best suited lawyer to you. Contact few of them to see the response as the lawyer with the luxurious office may be well established but may not be very energetic and driving. You require an attorney who can focus on your case and is able to give you attention. Select the attorney who you feel confident in working with. You also have to make sure that the attorney you choose is not representing others in the same case this may trigger the conflict of interest that you do not want.
While there is good news that former President Bush signed a Railroad Safety Improvement Act of 2008 which will require Train Control Automated Braking System for Class one railway lines by 2015.
While this will definitely improve present safety arrangements and eventually save the lives of innocent people, people who have been to any railroad accident in the near past, should take up their case and file their claims through selecting a good train accident lawyer on the criteria I have discussed above. I hope that this post will help you in many ways, if you have any specific questions you can contact me through the comment section.

Hit and Run Law and Lawyer
This post is actually first of the series of 9things which are required to be done by you when unfortunately find yourself into a vehicle accident and requires a vehicle accident lawyer.
Before you get the time to get to an attorney for legal advise, there are things which you must know in order to get the best out of the not very good situation, for that you should know some basic hit and run law. After the accident you are required to stop your vehicle and observe certain things which if you not can harm you in getting the proper compensation of your claim. If you do not stop and think that it is a minor touching and decide to move on without stopping your car, there can be chances that you get charged with hit and run and that is a crime, leaving the scene of the accident. So, if you think the accident is minor, does not matter stop as close to the scene of the accident as possible, of course without disturbing the flow of traffic. Why stopping is so important as you may be in some hurry to reach at some place ad do not want to waste your time in something you think is so minor. Hit and run has been made a bigger problem since the term has been used so much. Who are the drivers who hit and run?
In the eyes of law, the ones who run from the scene of the accident are ones who have something to hide, those who are under some drug or alcohol influence, impaired by it, DUI (driving under the influence) or DWI (driving while influenced) is a crime in itself whether you make an accident or not. The worst a drunken person can do is drunken drive and make an accident.
The runaway drivers also include ones who are not in possession of a valid or no license at all. Their license was either suspended due to some earlier violations or simply they never bothered to get one.
The list of runaway drivers also includes those who were driving without the insurance and since they have made an accident and are not able to pay the damages all by themselves. Although it is a law in every state that vehicles on the road all must have liability insurance, but still there are so many vehicles out there on the roads that run without it. If you can afford a little extra, get the uninsured drivers coverage added in your plan, you will be so much benefitted with this little investment.
Then there is another kind of drivers who just do not want to stop as they have been committing a crime while they got into a car hit and run, most of the times the car they stole get into an accident due to the rush they were in. there could be many other reasons for the hit and run accidents including simple irresponsibility.
Action by you when you see a Hit and Run:
As a good citizen, you need to report any hit and run incident to police with the vehicle number of that car who made the crime. You can be a little detective and make a picture of the car who made the hit, only if you can do it safely (you need to make a focus of the license plate of that car).
Hit and Run Penalties:
The circumstances of a hit and run are the resulting factor for penalties; it also depends on the state you are in, because felony for hit and run vary from state to state. Penalties will be higher if you leave the scene of accident and there was an injured person in that accident if there wasn’t and you only damaged the property, obviously you are going to be charged with less repercussions.
In all states of the United States it will be considered felony if you have been in a vehicle accident and you left the scene which resulted in a death or fatality, except for 3. You may ask what the heck felony is and why it is not a felony in 3 of the states. Let me tell you what is felony: Felony is a categorization of crimes and that includes but not limited to: aggravated assault and/or battery, arson, burglary, illegal drug abuse/sales, embezzlement, grand theft, tax evasion, treason, espionage, racketeering, robbery, murder, rape, kidnapping and fraud. These types of crimes can be violent or otherwise but in case of a hit and run incident it will be taken a felony of serious type because you could have saved that injured person’s life by staying at the scene and calling for help.
Why it is not a felony in the sates of Montana, Kentucky and Utah? Ask them.
Damaging unattended property:
When the owner of the property i.e. a car or any other vehicle, even a mailbox, is not there and you accidentally damaged it, it will be your responsibility to find its owner and negotiate with them. You need to wait for the owner to return as if the car was parked in front of some building there is a good chance that the owner has gone into that building. Call and inform the police if the owner cannot be located. The police will not come if the damage was little, in big metropolis police has more important work to do so they don’t come until there is an injury or a serious damage. You can wait a little for the police and if they do not turn up you can leave note for the owner of the vehicle indicating your name and telephone number. The rest of the things can be discussed on phone i.e. your insurance company and policy number etc. in addition to all this you may want to report this incident to you insurance company too.
If you are hit and run Victim:
The same scenario can happen with you for example you parked your car at some place may be just side of the road or a public parking lot and upon your return you find a big dent on your car side, now that is something which will cost a lot in repairs. You do not know who made this damage to your car so whom to held responsible for damages… does that mean you have to pay for somebody’s mistake? Let’s see what you can do to counter this. You can have UMPD which is uninsured motorists’ property damage insurance. You might want to check if you have a deductible on your coverage some states do have that and that means that the first part of the insurance covering will be paid from your pocket, which is not what you want in the scenario we discussed, so better check for the deductible clause for your UMPD. Okay so let’s assume that you have the deductible clause now what? You may want to report the matter to police so they can check from their surveillance cameras for the hit and run video. I f they get the accused who made the hit, this can actually make you eligible for the monitory compensation not only for the repairs of your car but for the mental disturbance that has created you for that you may want to contact a vehicle accident attorney or lawyer, they can help you in the right professional manner which you require in order to get you the best compensation for your damages.

The one thing which you require to make a note of is to make sure that the other party involved in the car accident has their insurance as well, if they don’t you need to tell that to your insurance company, your car accident lawyer and the investigating officer, if they have not made a note of it already.
