Legal Assistance and Support for People Injured in Missouri Hit and Run Accidents
The Trauma of a Hit and Run
Aaron Sachs and Associates provides assistance for people injured or killed in Missouri hit and run accidents.
A car accident is always a traumatic event, but a hit and run accident can feel, somehow, worse. How could someone hit you or your loved one and then just drive away? How could they not stop to make sure everyone was okay or to call for help if there were injuries? How could they not take responsibility for what they did?
These questions haunt hit and run accident victims and/or their families and add to the trauma of the accident. Hit and Run accident victims are not only left to deal with the injuries caused by the accident, but they must also deal with their questions and worry over who is going to pay for medical bills, lost wages, replacement of a damaged vehicle or, worst of all, compensate the family in the event of a death caused by a hit and run driver.
Missouri Hit and Run Accident Help
Aaron Sachs and Associates has been helping car accident victims in Missouri since 1991. The firm's attorneys have more than 50 years of combined legal experience and the firm's practice is limited to handling accident cases, disability and workers compensation claims*. We've helped car accident victims receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, disability, pain and suffering and other losses including the death of a family member. We may be able to help you, too.
A hit and run accident can turn your life upside down in a split second. What if it happened to you or a family member? Would you know what to do? Who would you call for legal assistance? Who will pay for the medical bills and any necessary prescriptions, therapy, rehab, extended treatments or expensive equipment? Who will pay for the damage to your vehicle or to replace your vehicle if the hit and run accident involved a car rather than a bicycle rider or pedestrian being hit? What about missed work? What if there were serious injuries and there may be long term disability? What if someone died? Were there any witnesses to the accident? How could you find them? Whose insurance will pay for all this? Will the police try to find the hit and run driver? What will happen if and when he or she is found? Since leaving the scene of an accident is a crime in Missouri, will that person go to jail? Where do you start and how would you handle it all?

Missouri Hit and Run Accident Lawyers
The lawyers at Aaron Sachs and Associates may be able to help answer your questions about Missouri hit and run accidents, and can help you understand your rights and the process of pursuing compensation for your injuries, pain, suffering, lost wages, medical bills etc.
When interviewing attorneys to represent you in a hit and run accident claim, it is important to ask if they are familiar with Missouri hit and run accident cases because hit and run claims can be more complicated than regular accident cases.
In the event of a hit and run accident, you may be able to make a claim under your own accident insurance policy if you have uninsured motorists' coverage. If the hit and run driver was in a work vehicle at the time of the accident, or on a work errand, you may be able to pursue a claim against the employer or vehicle owner. If the hit and driver is found, a claim can be pursued against that person. The case against the hit and run driver may also involve criminal charges and in some cases may involve the possibility of a jail term.
Missouri Hit and Run Accident Laws
In the State of Missouri, leaving the scene of an accident is a misdemeanor UNLESS someone was hurt, or if the amount of property damage will exceed a thousand dollars, or if the driver has been found guilty of leaving the scene of an accident before. In that case, a hit and run becomes a Class D felony. The law is clear when it comes to leaving the scene/ hit and run accidents.
