How to Protect Your Legal Rights After a Hit-and-Run Accident

Hit by a Truck in a Hit-and-Run? How to Protect Your Rights and Fight Back

What if a delivery van slams into your car on I-635 in Dallas, or a dump truck on the Perimeter Pretzel in Atlanta, or you get sideswiped by a truck on the Bishop Ford in Chicago? And instead of stopping, the driver speeds off—leaving you injured, your car wrecked, and no clear way to hold them accountable. What next?

At Witherite Law Group, we have seen trucking companies try to protect their drivers by denying they were involved, delaying investigations, or obscuring evidence that could prove fault. We do not let them get away with it.

If a truck hit your car and fled the scene, you need a legal team that moves fast, gathers evidence, and fights to get you full compensation.

What You Need to Know About Hit-and-Run Accidents Involving Trucks

Trucking companies and their insurance providers will do whatever they can to avoid responsibility.

Common reasons truck drivers flee after a wreck:

• They were driving recklessly or distracted.
• They were over their legal driving hours and should not have been on the road.
• They were under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• The trucking company has a history of safety violations.
• They knew they caused serious damage and did not want to lose their job.

Whatever the reason, you should not be left paying for their negligence.

Rapid Response Team: Collecting Every Piece of Evidence Before It Disappears

When a commercial truck is involved in a hit-and-run, every second counts. That is why our Rapid Response Team moves fast to secure the evidence needed to prove fault. Our team can:

• Retrieve nearby traffic and security cam footage before it is deleted.
• Interview witnesses immediately before details fade, and collect any available audio or video.
• Check GPS tracking data to match trucks in the area at the time of the wreck.
• Pull company records to see which trucks were on duty and where they were supposed to be.
• Analyze damage to your car to determine the size and type of truck that hit you.

We Handle Hit-and-Run Cases Involving Any Commercial Vehicles

Trucks are not the only large vehicles that cause serious hit-and-run crashes. We take cases involving:

• 18-wheelers and semitrucks
• Box trucks and moving trucks
• Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and other delivery vehicles
• Buses and public transit vehicles
• Construction vehicles and dump trucks

No matter what kind of commercial vehicle hit you, we hold them accountable and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Trucking Companies and Insurers Will Try to Limit Liability

Trucking companies and their insurers have one goal: to protect their bottom line. They might:

• Claim they cannot identify the driver.
• Say you do not have enough proof to make a claim.
• Offer a settlement that does not cover your expenses.

Without legal representation, you could be left with unpaid medical bills and no recourse.
