A hit-and-run accident can leave victims feeling helpless—injured, without answers, and unsure how to recover damages. When a driver flees the scene, it complicates the process of seeking compensation, but that doesn’t mean you’re out of options.
At Small Law Firm, we help victims of hit-and-run crashes navigate insurance claims, work with law enforcement, and explore all available legal avenues to secure the compensation they deserve.
When a driver leaves the scene, identifying them can be difficult—but not impossible. Our team works with law enforcement, accident reconstruction experts, and insurance providers to investigate your case.
✔ Severe head trauma – Concussions and brain injuries are common in high-impact crashes.
✔ Broken bones & internal injuries – The force of impact often leads to long-term medical needs.
✔ Financial hardships – Medical bills, lost income, and ongoing treatment can create major burdens.
Even if the driver is never found, you may still have options for compensation through uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. Small Law Firm will review your policy, negotiate with insurers, and pursue every available option to help you recover.

Call 911 immediately to report the incident and seek medical attention. Provide law enforcement with as much detail as possible about the fleeing vehicle, such as license plate numbers or identifying marks.
Witness testimony can be crucial in identifying the driver or corroborating your version of events. Craig will gather statements and work with law enforcement to strengthen your case.
In New York, you generally have three years to file a personal injury claim. However, shorter deadlines may apply for uninsured motorist claims. Acting quickly ensures evidence is preserved.
If the at-fault driver cannot be located, you may file a claim under your uninsured motorist coverage. Craig Small will work with your insurance company to recover damages.
Yes. New York’s comparative negligence law allows you to recover damages even if you share some blame. Your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

Attorney Craig Small not only returns phone calls, but he got me a settlement in a record amount of time. So refreshing to deal with a lawyer who treats me like an equally intelligent adult, instead of condescendingly talking down to me like most lawyers do. I highly recommend this law firm and will use them again.
Hands down best injury lawyer around very personal and friendly, you don’t speak to a whole bunch of people regarding your case Craig speaks directly to their clients!! Both are excellent !! Still thinking of their clients months after the case settled

The people at Small Law Firm helped me deal with a situation following my getting hit by a car while on my bicycle by a person who was distracted. They were attentive, professional, and caring in their approach.
