A personal injury suit against the at fault driver must be filed within two years under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Sec. 16.003. You can't serve or collect from a truly unknown driver. And naming a fictitious defendant doesn't stop that two year clock. So while police work to find the driver, a claim against your own uninsured motorist coverage is usually the remedy. It protects you before the deadline.\"\n   }\n  },\n  {\n   \"@type\": \"Question\",\n   \"name\": \"What happens in a hit and run with insurance?\",\n   \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n    \"text\": \"When the driver who hit you cannot be found, Texas treats them like an uninsured driver, so your own uninsured motorist coverage is what handles the hit and run insurance claim. For an unknown driver, the law requires actual physical contact between your vehicle and the fleeing one before those benefits apply (Texas Insurance Code Sec. 1952.104(3)). A pure no contact claim, where a phantom driver ran you off the road but never touched you, generally doesn't meet that requirement. That's why identifying the driver, or documenting the contact, matters so much.\"\n   }\n  },\n  {\n   \"@type\": \"Question\",\n   \"name\": \"Who pays for the damage in a hit and run?\",\n   \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n    \"text\": \"If the driver who hit you is caught, that driver and their insurer pay; if the driver is never found, your own uninsured motorist coverage is the main source of payment. Uninsured motorist benefits apply to an unknown driver only when there was actual physical contact between the vehicles (Texas Insurance Code Sec. 1952.104(3)). After a conviction for leaving the scene of an accident, the sentencing court can also order the driver to pay you restitution under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 42.037. Texas Crime Victims' Compensation may help with costs like medical bills and lost wages when no other source pays. But it doesn't cover property damage or pain and suffering.\"\n   }\n  },\n  {\n   \"@type\": \"Question\",\n   \"name\": \"What percent of hit and run cases get solved?\",\n   \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n    \"text\": \"There is no single reliable statistic for how many Texas hit and run cases get solved, so it is safest to plan as if the driver may never be found. Hit and run crashes are common. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety counted more than 900,000 police reported hit and run crashes across the United States in 2023, roughly 15 percent of all police reported crashes. What improves the odds of an arrest is fast evidence, a partial plate, a vehicle description, nearby camera footage, and a prompt police report. Because an arrest is never certain, a lawyer for hit and run accidents builds your uninsured motorist claim in parallel. That way your recovery doesn't depend on the driver being caught.\"\n   }\n  },\n  {\n   \"@type\": \"Question\",\n   \"name\": \"Is it worth suing for a hit and run?\",\n   \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n    \"text\": \"Suing is worth it when the driver is identified and has insurance or assets to collect from; when the driver stays unknown, the stronger path is usually a claim against your own uninsured motorist coverage. You can't collect a judgment from a driver who is never identified. And the two year deadline to sue keeps running under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Sec. 16.003. A hit and run accident lawyer can pursue both tracks at once, the search for the driver and the uninsured motorist claim. People also ask if it is better to hire a lawyer or an attorney. In Texas practice the two words mean the same thing, so pick the person and the results, not the title. That way no option is lost to the clock. Because we work on contingency, pursuing your claim costs you nothing unless we recover.\"\n   }\n  },\n  {\n   \"@type\": \"Question\",\n   \"name\": \"How long will police investigate a hit and run?\",\n   \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n    \"text\": \"There is no fixed timeline; a Texas hit and run investigation stays open as long as there are leads to follow, so some are solved within days and others are never closed. How long it runs depends on the evidence. A plate number, a vehicle description, camera footage, or a Crime Stoppers tip can move a case fast, while a case with no witnesses can stall. If the driver is identified later, your claim can shift from an uninsured motorist claim toward a claim against that driver. Don't wait on the investigation to protect yourself. The two year deadline to sue runs separately under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Sec. 16.003.\"\n   }\n  }\n ]\n}\n<\/script>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n \"@type\": \"VideoObject\",\n \"name\": \"McKinley's story: hit by a driver who ran from the scene\",\n \"description\": \"McKinley was driving home from the mall after school when another driver crossed into her path.

In Nationwide Insurance Co. v. Elchehimi, 249 S.W.3d 430 (Tex. 2008), a wheel and axle that broke off an unidentified 18 wheeler struck a car.

You can&#8217;t serve or collect from a truly unknown driver. And naming a fictitious defendant doesn&#8217;t stop that two year clock. So while police work to find the driver, a claim against your own uninsured motorist coverage is usually the remedy. It protects you before the deadline.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n          <details class=\"faq__item\">\n            <summary class=\"faq__q\">What happens in a hit and run with insurance?<span class=\"ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n            <div class=\"faq__a\"><strong>When the driver who hit you cannot be found, Texas treats them like an uninsured driver, so your own uninsured motorist coverage is what handles the hit and run insurance claim.<\/strong> For an unknown driver, the law requires actual physical contact between your vehicle and the fleeing one before those benefits apply (Texas Insurance Code Sec. 1952.104(3)). A pure no contact claim, where a phantom driver ran you off the road but never touched you, generally doesn&#8217;t meet that requirement. That&#8217;s why identifying the driver, or documenting the contact, matters so much.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n          <details class=\"faq__item\">\n            <summary class=\"faq__q\">Who pays for the damage in a hit and run?<span class=\"ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n            <div class=\"faq__a\"><strong>If the driver who hit you is caught, that driver and their insurer pay; if the driver is never found, your own uninsured motorist coverage is the main source of payment.<\/strong> Uninsured motorist benefits apply to an unknown driver only when there was actual physical contact between the vehicles (Texas Insurance Code Sec. 1952.104(3)). After a conviction for leaving the scene of an accident, the sentencing court can also order the driver to pay you restitution under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 42.037. Texas Crime Victims&#8217; Compensation may help with costs like medical bills and lost wages when no other source pays. But it doesn&#8217;t cover property damage or pain and suffering.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n          <details class=\"faq__item\">\n            <summary class=\"faq__q\">What percent of hit and run cases get solved?<span class=\"ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n            <div class=\"faq__a\"><strong>There is no single reliable statistic for how many Texas hit and run cases get solved, so it is safest to plan as if the driver may never be found.<\/strong> Hit and run crashes are common. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety counted more than 900,000 police reported hit and run crashes across the United States in 2023, roughly 15 percent of all police reported crashes. What improves the odds of an arrest is fast evidence, a partial plate, a vehicle description, nearby camera footage, and a prompt police report. Because an arrest is never certain, a lawyer for hit and run accidents builds your uninsured motorist claim in parallel. That way your recovery doesn&#8217;t depend on the driver being caught.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n          <details class=\"faq__item\">\n            <summary class=\"faq__q\">Is it worth suing for a hit and run?<span class=\"ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n            <div class=\"faq__a\"><strong>Suing is worth it when the driver is identified and has insurance or assets to collect from; when the driver stays unknown, the stronger path is usually a claim against your own uninsured motorist coverage.<\/strong> You can&#8217;t collect a judgment from a driver who is never identified. And the two year deadline to sue keeps running under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Sec. 16.003. A hit and run accident lawyer can pursue both tracks at once, the search for the driver and the uninsured motorist claim. People also ask if it is better to hire a lawyer or an attorney. In Texas practice the two words mean the same thing, so pick the person and the results, not the title. That way no option is lost to the clock. Because we work on contingency, pursuing your claim costs you nothing unless we recover.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n          <details class=\"faq__item\">\n            <summary class=\"faq__q\">How long will police investigate a hit and run?<span class=\"ic\"><\/span><\/summary>\n            <div class=\"faq__a\"><strong>There is no fixed timeline; a Texas hit and run investigation stays open as long as there are leads to follow, so some are solved within days and others are never closed.<\/strong> How long it runs depends on the evidence. A plate number, a vehicle description, camera footage, or a Crime Stoppers tip can move a case fast, while a case with no witnesses can stall. If the driver is identified later, your claim can shift from an uninsured motorist claim toward a claim against that driver. Don&#8217;t wait on the investigation to protect yourself. The two year deadline to sue runs separately under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Sec. 16.003.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"section section--alt\" id=\"offices\" aria-labelledby=\"offices-title\">\n  <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <div class=\"splithead splithead--mid reveal\" style=\"margin-bottom:clamp(38px,5vw,58px)\">\n      <h2 class=\"h-lg\" style=\"text-wrap:balance\" id=\"offices-title\">Six offices.
