Our Chicago hit-and-run injury lawyers recommend that injury victims and anyone who can help: Observe as much as you can about the other vehicle before it disappears. Look for the color, make, and model of the vehicle along with where the vehicle might have suffered damage in the crash. Try to find witnesses who are willing to speak about what they saw and take as many pictures as possible of the scene, the damage to your vehicle, and the location in which the crash occurred. Call the police and file an accident report about the crash. If the police are unable to track down the driver who caused the crash, the traffic accident report will be useful to your insurance company when you file a claim for the accident. Don’t try to chase down the hit-and-run driver on your own. The police and our investigators will work aggressively to track down the driver. The smallest of clues can add up. There are many surveillance cameras throughout Chicago’s streets, and we will fight to get the footage if it captures the owner/operator of the vehicle which hit you.
