- Direct consultation with a lawyer at no cost
- No fees unless we recover compensation
- A track record of hundreds of Los Angeles cases handled

At Blair & Ramirez LLP, our award-winning attorneys document every loss, uncover every policy, and counter every insurer tactic. That preparation translates into stronger recoveries for our clients.
We help you avoid:
- Settlements that undervalue medical care or wages

What Our Legal Team Will Do for You
Every hit and run case demands strategy, not guesswork. Our car accident attorneys take concrete steps to strengthen your claim: investigating liability, controlling insurer communications, maximizing settlement leverage, and preparing for trial when necessary.
Identify Liable Parties Using Private Investigators and Police Reports
When a driver flees, we move quickly to uncover who’s responsible. Our attorneys work with private investigators, issue subpoenas, and collaborate with law enforcement to identify at-fault drivers, even when no license plate or witnesses were recorded.
We strengthen liability by:
- Securing traffic and security camera footage near the crash site
- Interviewing witnesses while their memories remain accurate
- Reviewing LAPD hit-and-run reports for critical details
- Coordinating with accident reconstruction experts
Handle All Insurance Negotiations to Protect Your Payout
Insurers often exploit uncertainty after a hit and run. We take control of all communications, prepare evidence-backed demands, and reject lowball offers. This ensures your claim reflects the full scope of your losses.
We manage your claim by:
- Controlling written and recorded communication with insurers
- Submitting demand packages with medical and financial proof
- Countering low settlement offers with evidence-driven negotiations
- Preventing insurers from twisting your statements
Maximize Your Settlement With Strategic Legal Positioning
Every loss, medical, financial, and personal, is documented in detail. We uncover hidden coverage, apply negotiation leverage, and push insurers to pay full value. This approach increases settlements and reduces the risk of delay or denial.
File Lawsuits With No Upfront Costs, If Needed
When insurers refuse fair payment, we’re ready for trial. As a contingency-fee firm, we cover all filing and litigation costs, so you face no financial risk.
You only pay if we win.
Can't Identify the Driver? You Can Still Get Paid
Even if the driver is never found, you may still recover through uninsured motorist coverage and other available policies. Our Los Angeles attorneys investigate every angle to secure compensation for medical bills, lost income, and property damage.
Common Hit and Run Cases We Handle Across Los Angeles
Hit and run accidents take many forms, each with its own challenges. Our attorneys adapt strategy to the evidence, coverage, and circumstances of every case.
Injured as a Pedestrian? We Build Strong UM/UIM Claims
When a driver strikes a pedestrian and flees, recovery often comes through your own uninsured motorist policy. We support your claim with medical records, witness accounts, and video evidence to increase settlement value, even if the driver is never found.
Parking Lot or Garage Hit and Run? We’ll Help Identify the Vehicle
Damage in parking lots doesn’t mean you’re left without options. We often secure:
- Security camera recordings from the property
- Garage access logs or parking reports
- Eyewitness statements from nearby businesses or attendants
Using these details, we work to trace the vehicle and pursue your claim.
Highway or Intersection Collision? We Fight for Full Medical Recovery
High-speed impacts often cause severe injuries. Our attorneys collaborate with experts to analyze:
- Vehicle black box data
- Traffic and street camera recordings
- Police crash reports and witness interviews
Quick action preserves evidence and strengthens your case for full medical coverage.
Rideshare or Delivery Driver Hit You? We Go After Their Employer’s Policy
When an on-duty driver causes a crash, commercial insurance may apply. We pursue higher-limit policies such as:
These policies often pay more than personal insurance, and we know how to access them.
Damages You Can Recover With the Right Legal Strategy
Recovering fair compensation after a hit and run requires proving every loss with clear documentation. Our attorneys build claims that reflect the full impact on your health, finances, and daily life.
We pursue compensation for:
- Medical costs: Hospital bills, surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term treatment
- Lost income: Missed wages and reduced future earning capacity, supported by vocational analysis
- Pain and suffering: PTSD, anxiety, and lifestyle changes documented with medical and therapeutic records
- Property damage: Full repair costs, replacement value, and diminished resale worth
- Wrongful death: Funeral expenses, loss of income, and the value of companionship and guidance under California law
In past cases, we’ve recovered over $100,000 for clients with personal injuries by coordinating health insurance, uninsured motorist coverage, and MedPay benefits, proof that a strategic legal approach leads to stronger results.
Act Fast - California’s Claim Deadline is Strict
California law sets hard deadlines for filing hit and run claims. Missing them can permanently block your right to compensation.
Key timelines include:
- 2 years from the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit
- 6 months to file if a government vehicle was involved
- 30-60 days to notify your insurer of a UM/UIM claim
There are no extensions. Acting quickly preserves your rights and strengthens your case. Contact our attorneys today to avoid costly delays.
Which California Laws Help Support Your Crash Injury Claim?
State statutes define a driver’s duty to remain at the scene and the penalties for fleeing. These laws strengthen fault arguments and increase leverage in settlement negotiations.
- Felony - Vehicle Code §20001: Leaving the scene after causing injury or death; may support punitive damages
- Misdemeanor: Vehicle Code §20002: Leaving after causing property damage; establishes civil liability
- Civil vs. Criminal: Criminal charges punish offenders; civil claims secure your financial recovery. We handle the civil side to maximize compensation.
By applying these statutes, we hold fleeing drivers accountable and prove their legal duty to compensate victims.
