Finding Drivers After a Hit-and-Run

When an Oakland driver flees the scene of a crash, tracing them is possible through diligent investigation and proven methods. Our law firm has a strong record of locating hit-and-run drivers, ensuring that injured parties aren’t left accountable for another’s negligence. Multiple-vehicle collisions can leave those involved facing severe injuries and overwhelming costs, which makes an effective investigation essential.

Steps in Our Investigation Process

• Investigators head to the scene of the Oakland hit-and-run promptly to preserve evidence. Physical clues, such as broken car parts or paint transfers, allow us to narrow down the vehicle’s make and model.
• Our team reconstructs the collision to clarify how and why it happened, which helps establish legal responsibility for injuries.
• We canvass surrounding areas for security or traffic cameras that may have recorded the crash, as video footage can directly identify vehicles and drivers.
• Police reports are reviewed for errors, as even a small mistake may jeopardize an injury claim.
• Witness interviews serve two purposes: clarifying crash details and uncovering potential photo or video evidence; statements and digital recordings strengthen our client’s compensation case.

By combining careful scene analysis, digital searches, and thorough interviews, our Oakland legal team maximizes the chance of holding negligent drivers in an Oakland hit-and-run accountable for the harm they cause.
