“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
"Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again."
“Unbelievable work!”
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”
"I hired Strong Law after my car accident. Jed and his team worked hard on my case. They were professional and compassionate through my surgery and as I recovered, and they were awesome on communication. I got justice and awesome compensation. I would recommend Strong Law to anyone in my situation."
Hit‑and‑Run Accidents in Tacoma
If you or a loved one is the victim of a hit‑and‑run, contact Strong Law immediately. These crashes are physically and emotionally devastating—often leaving you injured and without the other driver’s information.
What Is a Hit‑and‑Run?
Any collision where the at‑fault driver leaves without providing contact and insurance information—including strikes to occupied vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and parked cars.
Washington Laws Require Action
Drivers must remain at the scene, render aid, and exchange information. Penalties range from misdemeanors to felonies depending on injury or death. Victims may also bring a civil claim for damages.
Statute of Limitations
Generally three years from the date of injury (wrongful death counts from date of death). Don’t wait—evidence like traffic camera footage is often overwritten in days.
What To Do After a Hit‑and‑Run
- Medical care first.
- Write down what you remember: make/model, partial plate, direction, time, witnesses.
- Stay safe—do not pursue the fleeing driver.
- Call the police at the scene if possible.
- Notify your insurer (don’t discuss settlement).
- Call our team to handle UM/UIM claims and evidence preservation.
How We Build Hit‑and‑Run Cases
We obtain police reports, canvass cameras and businesses, interview witnesses, and pursue coverage through UM/UIM, PIP, and property damage provisions. We negotiate firmly and litigate when necessary.

Economic Damages
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Medical expenses (ER, specialists, rehab, prescriptions, travel)

- Property damage and, in fatal cases, funeral costs
Non‑Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering, mental anguish, PTSD

Our Car Accident Lawyers in Tacoma Must Prove Negligence
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages
Multiple parties can share fault—another driver, a manufacturer, a negligent repair shop, or a road contractor. Washington’s pure comparative negligence allows recovery even if you’re partially at fault; your award is reduced by your percentage.
What to Expect from Your Tacoma Car Injury Case
Investigating the Accident
- Police & medical reports, camera footage, witness statements
- Accident reconstruction where needed
Identifying Compensation
We document every cost—past and future—to justify full value.
Negotiation & Litigation
We push insurers to fair settlements; if they refuse, we file suit and try the case.
Tacoma Car Accident Statistics & Evidence Windows
Thousands of crashes occur on Tacoma roadways each year. Evidence such as traffic/storefront/ATM camera footage may be overwritten within days—early legal action preserves it. Keep a recovery journal to track symptoms and setbacks; delayed symptoms can indicate more serious injuries.
Tacoma Car Accident Attorneys Answer FAQs
Should I accept the insurance company’s first offer?
No. These are often lowball offers that close your claim prematurely. Let us review and negotiate on your behalf.
How much compensation will I get?
Every case is different. Values depend on injuries, time off work, medical costs, and long‑term impact. Strong evidence and experienced counsel increase outcomes.
Will I have to go to court?
Most cases settle, but we are trial‑ready if negotiations fail.
What if the crash led to a death?
We can pursue a wrongful death claim for funeral costs, loss of support, and emotional harms.
Do I have to file a police report after a hit‑and‑run?
Not legally required in every scenario, but strongly recommended. Reports help identify drivers and support UM/UIM claims.
Can I recover compensation if the hit‑and‑run driver isn’t found?
Often, yes—through UM/UIM and other coverages. We handle the claim and evidence preservation.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Generally three years from the injury date (wrongful death is three years from date of death). Act early to protect evidence.
How much does it cost to hire Strong Law?
We work on contingency—no fees unless we win.
