Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Fatalities in Excelsior Springs

Hit-and-run accidents are among the most tragic and frustrating incidents for families and law enforcement alike. When a driver flees the scene after striking a pedestrian, it not only leaves the victim without aid but also delays justice for grieving families.

In Missouri, hundreds of pedestrians are injured or killed each year in traffic-related crashes. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, pedestrian fatalities have been steadily increasing statewide. Many of these deaths involve drivers who fail to stop and render aid—a violation of state law.

Victims of fatal pedestrian crashes leave behind loved ones facing immense loss, medical or funeral expenses, and emotional trauma. When the driver responsible is unknown, the situation becomes even more difficult.

In these cases, surviving family members may still have legal options. A wrongful death attorney can help families understand their rights, work with investigators, and explore all possible sources of compensation—even if the at-fault driver hasn’t been identified.
