According to recent NYPD data, hit-and-run incidents continue to rise across New York City, with elevated rates particularly affecting residential neighborhoods in Queens and Brooklyn, commercial districts in Manhattan during rush hours, and communities throughout the Bronx and Staten Island. Only 15-20% of hit-and-run drivers are ever identified, leaving thousands of victims uncertain about their legal rights and recovery options.
“Being the victim of a hit-and-run is one of the most frustrating experiences a person can face,” says Steven Louros, founder of the Law Office of Steven Louros. “Victims in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island deserve to know that they have legal options and can pursue maximum compensation even when the driver is never found.”
