Hit-and-Run Accidents in Texas
Hit-and-run crashes are a serious issue across Texas, leaving victims struggling with injuries, vehicle damage, and uncertainty about their legal options. In 2023, thousands of hit-and-run incidents were reported statewide, with many involving injuries or fatalities. Drivers who flee the scene of a crash not only violate the law but also make it harder for victims to receive necessary medical care and compensation.
Understanding the risks of hit-and-run accidents can help drivers and pedestrians stay alert. Some key factors include:
- Failure to Stop and Render Aid – Texas law requires drivers to stop after an accident involving injury or property damage. Leaving the scene can result in serious criminal charges.
- Increased Injury Risks – When a driver flees, injured victims may not receive immediate medical attention, potentially worsening their condition.
- Challenges in Identifying the Driver – Without eyewitnesses or surveillance footage, tracking down hit-and-run drivers can be difficult. However, law enforcement and legal professionals can assist in gathering evidence.
- Insurance Issues – Victims of hit-and-run crashes often rely on their own uninsured motorist coverage to recover damages. Consulting a lawyer can help navigate the claims process.
