Houston Hit and Run Lawyer for Victims of Fleeing Drivers

The Challenges of Hit and Run Cases

When a driver flees the scene of an accident, victims are left with medical bills, car repairs, and uncertainty about who will pay. At the Law Office of Frederick K. Wilson II, we represent clients injured in hit and run accidents, helping them explore every option for compensation—from uninsured motorist coverage to legal claims if the driver is found.

Common Hit and Run Scenarios

We handle cases involving:
A person riding a bicycle, outlined in black.

Drivers fleeing after injuring pedestrians or cyclists

Each type of distraction puts drivers, passengers, and pedestrians at serious risk.

How Insurance Companies Handle These Claims

Insurers often try to minimize payouts in hit and run cases, arguing that coverage doesn’t apply or damages are overstated. Frederick knows what insurance companies look for in these situations because of his years of experience inside the industry. He uses that knowledge to push back against weak arguments and maximize recovery.

Hit and Run Accidents Across Houston

From downtown Houston to suburbs like Sugar Land, Katy, and The Woodlands, hit and run accidents happen every day. Whether you were a driver, passenger, or pedestrian, Frederick applies local knowledge and courtroom experience to pursue justice for victims.
