Another Day Battling The Hit And Run Epidemic Or Shall I Say Pandemic In Philadelphia

As an experienced Philadelphia car accident lawyer representing hit and run victims since 1979, it seems that not a day goes by where I am not receiving a phone call or inquiry about a hit and run accident on the streets of Philadelphia. Unfortunately, the string of bad news continued when on June 3, 2009 another victim was claimed by a hit and run driver at approximately 12:03 a.m. as she was crossing Roosevelt Boulevard at or near Rising Sun Avenue. Initial reports indicate that the 30-year old victim was hit by a Gold or Silver Pontiac or Oldsmobile as one or both of two vehicles that were apparently racing each other down the Boulevard, struck the innocent victim and fled the scene. Like any other irresponsible hit and run driver, in this case both drivers kept running rather than stopping. Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of the innocent victim and suggest that this family would be well advised to seek representation from an experienced hit and run lawyer to assist in investigating the situation and properly protecting their legal rights and interests. As stated before, there is never a good reason for not stopping after being involved in a car accident unless you are doing something wrong.
