Hit-and-Run Accidents in Texas
Texas experiences a significant number of hit-and-run accidents each year. According to state data, thousands of hit-and-run crashes occur annually, often leaving victims with serious injuries and little immediate recourse. Drivers who flee the scene can face severe criminal charges, and victims may struggle to secure compensation without the at-fault party being identified.
If you’re involved in a hit-and-run crash, here are key steps to take:
- Call 911 Immediately – Reporting the accident right away increases the chances of finding the driver and ensures medical aid reaches any injured victims quickly.
- Document the Scene – Take photos of the damage, skid marks, and any debris left behind. This evidence can help in identifying the vehicle involved.
- Look for Witnesses – If anyone saw the accident, gather their contact information. Witness accounts can be crucial in investigations.
- Check for Surveillance Cameras – Nearby businesses, traffic cameras, or doorbell cameras may have recorded the crash, helping police track down the suspect.
- Contact an Attorney – An experienced lawyer can help victims explore their legal options, including uninsured motorist claims if the hit-and-run driver is not found.
