Hit-and-Run Accidents in Texas
Texas sees thousands of hit-and-run accidents each year, with many leading to serious injuries or fatalities. In 2022 alone, the state reported over 18,000 hit-and-run crashes involving injuries. Victims in these accidents often face medical bills, lost income, and emotional distress, all while the responsible party remains unidentified.
When looking at hit-and-run crashes, several factors can impact the outcome for victims:
- Common Causes – Many hit-and-runs result from reckless driving, speeding, or impaired driving. Drivers who flee the scene often do so out of fear of legal consequences.
- Legal Consequences – Fleeing the scene of an accident is a crime in Texas. Depending on the severity, drivers can face felony charges, fines, and possible jail time.
- What to Do If You’re Involved – If you’re the victim of a hit-and-run, try to document as much as possible, including vehicle descriptions, license plate numbers, and witness statements. Calling the police immediately is crucial.
- Insurance and Compensation – Victims may be able to seek compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or legal action if the driver is identified. A lawyer can help explore options for recovering damages.
