Hit and run accidents are particularly devastating, leaving victims injured and alone while the responsible driver flees the scene to avoid accountability. These cowardly acts not only cause physical harm but also create emotional trauma and complicate the legal process of seeking compensation for your injuries and damages.
Drivers flee accident scenes for various reasons including driving without insurance or a valid license, being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, having outstanding warrants, or simply panicking in the moment. Regardless of their reasons, leaving the scene of an accident is a serious crime that compounds the harm caused to innocent victims.
Victims of hit and run accidents face unique challenges in identifying the at-fault driver and recovering compensation when the responsible party cannot be located. However, options exist including uninsured motorist coverage, crime victim compensation programs, and thorough investigations that may identify the fleeing driver through witnesses, surveillance footage, or vehicle debris.
