Hit-and-Run Injury and Recovery in Missouri

Why Should You Consider a Civil Lawsuit?

If you’ve been injured in a hit-and-run accident you’re not alone. Every day, Missourians get hurt in car accidents and the other motorist just drives off. If you’ve suffered an injury or property damage caused by a hit-and-run accident, you probably want the other driver to pay for what they’ve done. Call an experienced Kansas City car accident attorney to fight for you.

A Criminal Case May Not Be Enough

A hit-and-run is considered a crime. You might think that the justice system will punish the offender and get financial justice for your injury. Even if the driver who committed the hit-and-run criminally liable for their actions, that doesn’t mean you will be compensated. It is up to you to take action against the offending motorist to recover for your personal injury. At this point, you should contact an experienced attorney to represent your interests in a civil lawsuit. Only a lawyer can make sure you get the compensation you deserve following a hit-and-run accident.

Missouri Law Allows Large Awards to Deter Hit-and-Run Motorists

Missouri law allows a person who has been injured in a hit-and-run to get up to 5 times what they could if the other motorist had not left. The amount the court can award is capped at $500,000. Missouri law allows this as a way to keep the motorist who left the scene from doing the same thing in the future. A court will look at many factors to decide how much money to award in this kind of case. This will include how much money the person who committed the hit-and-run has. The court will also look at whether they knew their actions would injure someone.
