Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents

Unfortunately, almost one million hit-and-run pedestrian accidents occur every year in the United States due to drivers fearing the consequences of their actions. Most of the time those who commit these types of crimes are already wanted for other crimes or are under the influence. Drivers who are impaired on the road are unable to effectively operate their vehicles, which makes them more prone to harming themselves and others.

At Brady Law Group, we don’t think it’s right for negligent drivers to get away with hurting others, which is why we fight for the rights of our clients until they’re fairly compensated for all damages and losses.
