Getting into an accident is frightening. Getting hit and then watching the other driver speed away—without checking if you’re okay, without exchanging insurance information—is infuriating. It’s also illegal. Maryland law requires drivers to remain at the scene of a crash, especially when injuries are involved. When they don’t, hit and run victims are left to deal with serious injuries, property damage, and mounting bills—all without the accountability they deserve. At Malloy Law Offices, our Cabin John hit and run lawyer helps victims fight back. If you were injured in a hit and run crash, we’ll help you explore all avenues for compensation—whether the driver is found or not.

Most car accidents start with an exchange of information: insurance cards, licenses, maybe a police report. But when the at-fault driver disappears, that process grinds to a halt. You’re left injured, confused, and unsure of what to do next.
That’s where we come in. We help clients:
Work with law enforcement to identify the driver
Explore coverage through their own uninsured motorist (UM) policies
Document injuries and expenses for a strong claim
Fight back if insurers deny or delay valid UM claims
Pursue third-party liability if another party contributed to the crash
Even if the driver is never found, you still have legal options—and we can help you understand and assert them.
A hit and run can happen anywhere—on a quiet Cabin John side street or a busy road near the Beltway. While every case is different, common scenarios include:
Rear-end collisions where the at-fault driver speeds off
Drivers hitting parked cars or cyclists and fleeing
Pedestrians struck in crosswalks or parking lots
Multi-vehicle crashes where one party leaves the scene
Unlicensed or intoxicated drivers trying to avoid arrest
Drivers flee for many reasons—but none of them excuse leaving an injured person behind. We work to track them down or hold the insurance system accountable in their absence.
Without warning or time to react, victims of hit and runs often suffer serious harm. We regularly represent clients who have experienced:
Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
Back and spinal cord trauma
Broken bones and orthopedic injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
Facial injuries, lacerations, and road rash
Psychological trauma, including anxiety or PTSD
Some injuries may worsen if emergency medical care is delayed due to the driver fleeing the scene. We make sure those long-term impacts are factored into your claim.
Even if the driver who hit you isn’t found, you may still be eligible to recover compensation through uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. Our team helps you pursue the maximum available for:
Emergency room visits and diagnostic imaging
Surgeries, physical therapy, and follow-up care
Lost wages or reduced earning potential
Pain and suffering—both physical and emotional
Vehicle repair or replacement costs
Mental health treatment
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Wrongful death benefits if a loved one was lost
UM claims can be complex—and insurers may treat you like the enemy. We step in to handle the fight so you can focus on healing.
Time is critical after a hit and run. If you’re able, take these steps to protect your health and legal rights:
Call 911 immediately—report the crash and request medical help if needed.
Note any details you remember about the fleeing vehicle (color, make, license plate digits).
Speak with any nearby witnesses and get their contact information.
Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any vehicle damage.
Get medical attention—even if you feel “okay” at first.
Contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with any insurance company.
You don’t have to wait for the police to find the other driver to begin your claim. The sooner you act, the stronger your case will be.
