Auto accidents are tragedies that often cause devastating injuries, including death. In the aftermath of an auto accident, victims and their families often struggle with grief and face financial difficulties, such as medical bills and lost income. Victims and their families may often find financial relief by filing a personal injury or a wrongful death lawsuit in the event of a hit-and-run accident.
Depending on the circumstances of the accident, multiple parties can be held liable in an auto accident lawsuit. The driver could be held liable if the accident was their fault and if they failed to stop. Additionally, the driver's employer could be held responsible if their negligence played a role in the crash, such as hiring a driver with a history of driving citations.
