Milwaukee Area Hit-and-Run Accidents

If a driver hits a car which is unoccupied, they’re supposed to leave their contact information on the windshield or in another visible location on the vehicle.  No matter who was at fault, there simply is no excuse for any driver to leave the scene of an accident. Unfortunately, people don’t always care, and choose not to follow the law. 

Do Milwaukee drivers flout pedestrian safety laws? Some say yes…

People flee for many reasons, typically because they’re drunk, afraid, have no insurance or are driving with a suspended license.  Fleeing from an accident is a serious crime, but surprisingly, it continues to happen in Wisconsin roads and in our own neighborhoods. 

·         In August, a 32-year-old nursing student was killed in a hit-and-run accident, as she tried to cross the street outside near a Café on Milwaukee’s East Side. 

·         In September, a 43-year-old man of Milwaukee who was knowingly operating a motor vehicle while suspended, hit-and-run two pedestrians near 12th and National, killing one and severely injuring the other. 

·         Earlier this month, another Milwaukee man died from injuries sustained during a hit and run, after his vehicle was struck by a speeding car that police say was trying to evade them.  This incident happened near the intersection of 50th and Center Avenue. 

Most hit-and-run accidents don’t result in death, but they can leave the victim severely injured.  If you or your loved one was in a hit-and-run accident, recovering compensation is your legal right.  Each case has its own set of circumstances and outcomes.  An experienced personal injury attorney can secure the compensation you need to cover medical bills, lost wages, and your pain and suffering. 

·         Ensure a thorough investigation

·         Seek maximum compensation for injuries

·         Fight back against denied claims
