A pedestrian lost their life while walking on Black Horse Pike in West Atlantic City. According to Egg Harbor Township police, who responded to the call for help at about 8 p.m., a person was struck while the driver took off.
Hit and run accidents are some of the most traumatic for victim families in situations like this. They may never learn “why” this incident took place or why the driver did not stop to offer help. In this particular situation, the police did not provide insight into any type of known cause or who may have been at fault.
Recovering from the loss of a family member is incredibly challenging in all situations. In a hit and run accident, having an attorney to fight for you could offer some level of justice. An Atlantic County pedestrian accident attorney will help find the at-fault party to hold them accountable for the loss of life, not just through criminal action taken by police, but through seeking financial compensation to recover losses.
