The Impact of Hit and Run Accidents
Hit-and-run accidents occur when a driver involved in a collision flees the scene without stopping to identify themselves or provide necessary information. These incidents can leave victims with physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial burdens. Dealing with the aftermath of a hit and run accident can be overwhelming, but taking the right steps is crucial to protect your rights.
What to Do After a Hit-and-Run Accident?
Prioritize Safety
Your safety and the safety of others should always be the top priority. If you are able, move to a safe location away from traffic.
Seek Medical Attention
Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s essential to seek medical attention promptly. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, and a medical professional can provide a thorough evaluation.
Report the Incident
Contact the local law enforcement authorities to report the hit and run accident. Provide as much detail as possible, including any information about the vehicle, license plate number, and the direction in which the other driver fled.
Gather Evidence
If it is safe to do so, gather evidence at the scene. Take pictures of the damage to your vehicle, any relevant road signs, and the surrounding area. Collect contact information from any witnesses who may have observed the incident.
Notify Your Insurance Company
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the hit and run accident. Provide them with all the information you have gathered, and be sure to obtain a copy of the police report.
The Role of a Hit-and-Run Accident Lawyer
Navigating the legal complexities of a hit and run accident can be challenging, especially when dealing with the emotional and physical aftermath. This is where having an experienced Hit and Run Accident Lawyer in San Antonio becomes invaluable.
Investigating the Accident
One of the primary responsibilities of a hit and run accident attorney is to conduct a thorough investigation. This may involve working with law enforcement, and private investigators to gather evidence and identify the responsible party.
Identifying Witnesses
Eyewitness accounts can play a crucial role in solving hit and run cases. A skilled attorney will work diligently to identify and interview witnesses who may have valuable information about the incident.
Dealing with Insurance Companies
Insurance companies may try to minimize payouts or deny claims altogether. A seasoned hit and run accident attorney knows how to negotiate with insurance companies and ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries, and other losses.
Pursuing Legal Action
If the responsible party is identified, your attorney will help you through the process of pursuing legal action against them. This may involve filing a personal injury lawsuit to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Testimonials
Professional and Thorough
I used Steve Hollingsworth for a personal injury case following a car accident. He was very easy to work with and managed my expectations regarding costs, time commitment/duration, filing suit etc. Steve kept me informed during the process and always made sure I understand what everything meant. My case took about 18 months to resolve, ending in mediation after filing suit and he pushed hard to make sure my best interest was represented and to ensure that I had the best possible (and fair) outcome. I hope I never have a personal injury claim again but if I do, I would absolutely consult with Steve. He exceeded my expectations and made the process as painless as possible. I would high recommend him.

Pamela V.Attorney from Cypress, TX
Steve is the real deal! He is an extremely invaluable resource on all things Litigation for me as a younger attorney. He is not only great a securing the bigger verdicts, but actually cares about the clients and still sticks by his tried and true method of meeting, in person, with his clients to go over facts . overall, a solid attorney, with a wealth of knowledge!
Crystal H.Attorney from Houston, TX
I cannot recommend Steve highly enough. As an attorney, you do not often find yourself in the position of being a client. But because of someone’s negligence, my husband and I found ourselves in need of a personal injury attorney after my husband suffered catastrophic injuries. We were immediately referred to Steve, and we were so lucky we were. Steve is compassionate but also tenacious. We always felt that he had our best interest at heart and was fighting for us. We truly felt that he cared about our case. There was never a time that he was unavailable to talk to us, and always kept us well informed. He has the utmost integrity and also has a vast knowledge of the law. On top of that, his experience is top notch as he has worked on both the defense and plaintiff side. We knew Steve was always tirelessly fighting for us, and a year and a half after my husband was severely injured by a negligent driver, Steve got us a fantastic settlement. I recommend Steve without hesitation.
Madelyn L.Attorney from Houston, TX
Steve and I were colleagues, where we worked on complex personal injury and wrongful death cases. What I observed in the years we worked together is that Steve is not only extremely skillful in his profession, but he is a tireless student of the law, constantly working to perfect the art of practicing law. He genuinely cares about his clients and their cases and it shows. He has excellent work ethic. He is not only a terrific lawyer but also a great person. As a fellow member of the State Bar of Texas, I would recommend Steve to anyone needing a zealous advocate in a personal injury case.
Vivian E.Attorney from San Antonio, TX
After working with Steve for a couple of years, I found Steve to be an outstanding, aggressive and highly skilled lawyer in the courtroom. His confidence and knowledge of the courtroom and what it takes to succeed there, I believe will ensure his long term prosperity.
Robin T.Attorney from College Station, TX
I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven’s presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
James H.From Miami, FL
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
