A hit and run accident occurs when a driver is involved in a crash—whether with another vehicle, a pedestrian, or property—and leaves the scene without stopping to provide information or offer assistance. In Rhode Island, this is a criminal offense and can involve serious penalties. A hit and run can include:
In many cases, victims are left with medical bills, vehicle repairs, and no immediate way to identify the responsible driver. However, legal options still exist—such as uninsured motorist (UM) claims or pursuing leads through police investigations and witness testimony.
Hit and run accidents can happen for many reasons, but they almost always involve a driver trying to avoid responsibility. Some of the most common causes include:
No matter the reason, leaving the scene is illegal—and victims deserve justice. At Almagno Law, we help you pursue every available legal option, even if the responsible party hasn’t yet been identified.
Victims of hit and run accidents in Rhode Island have legal rights—even if the at-fault driver is never found. At Almagno Law, we help you understand those rights and fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Call 911 immediately, document the scene if possible, and seek medical attention. Then, contact a personal injury attorney. You may still be eligible for compensation through your uninsured motorist coverage.
Yes. Rhode Island law allows you to file a claim under your uninsured motorist (UM) policy. Almagno Law can help you navigate this process and ensure your insurer treats you fairly.
While a license plate helps, it’s not required to pursue a case. Witness statements, surveillance footage, and vehicle damage can still support your claim.
Rhode Island’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of the accident. However, acting quickly helps preserve evidence and strengthen your case.
