Fatal Pedestrian Hit and Run in Arlington Kills One Tuesday Morning

Updated on: 4/26/2021

A man is dead after a fatal hit and run accident early Tuesday morning in Arlington. 

Authorities have reported a man in his 40's was struck and killed walking 236th ST NE around 3:00 a.m. Tuesday morning. 

Experts at the scene have reported that they believe the individual was in the roadway when the collision took place while wearing bright orange "construction type" hoodie.

The driver is believed to have been in an SUV traveling westbound on 236th St and has not been identified or apprehended at this time. 

Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed this accident, or any individuals matching the description of the pedestrian or hit and run driver to come forward and call 911 or the Sherrif's office tip line at 425-388-3845

Recovery Options After Fatal Hit and Run Accidents 

Hit and run accidents are tragedies that can deny victims and their loved ones the opportunity for closure, accountability, and recovery. 

Without an identifiable at-fault party, it can be almost impossible to make a fair and reasonable recovery for accident victims and their family members, leaving them with the pain of losing a loved one and the costs of burial and other end of life expenses. 

Victims of hit and run accidents still have some options at their disposal including filing a claim against your own insurance in the event that the at fault driver is never brought to justice. 

Underinsured/ uninsured motorist protection or UIM allows accident victims to recover funds from their own insurance should an accident be caused by an individual with limited or no insurance and would play a pivotal role in providing recovery for a hit and run victim.

Insurance companies may use any number of tactics to avoid paying out a major settlement after a serious injury or wrongful death accident like this, which is why it's crucial for accident victims and their loved ones to have a team of experienced pedestrian accident lawyers on their side. 

A knowledgable and experienced team of attorneys can help guide accident victims and their family members through the legal process and do everything possible to maximize the recovery after an accident.
