Hit-and-Run Accidents in Texas
Hit-and-run accidents in Texas can have devastating effects, especially when they result in severe injuries. Victims are often left struggling physically, emotionally, and financially while the responsible driver remains unidentified. Collisions like this recent one highlight the importance of driver accountability and the serious consequences of leaving the scene of an accident.
Hit-and-run crashes can occur for many reasons, including:
- Distracted driving: Drivers using phones or adjusting controls may not notice a pedestrian or vehicle in time.
- Speeding or reckless driving: Excessive speed reduces control and increases crash severity.
- Impaired driving: Alcohol or drugs impair judgment, leading to panic and fleeing the scene.
- Lack of insurance or valid license: Some drivers flee to avoid legal or financial penalties.
- Fear of arrest or prior offenses: Those with previous charges may leave to evade further consequences.
Victims of car accidents caused by negligent or fleeing drivers may pursue compensation through a personal injury claim. This compensation can help cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost income, emotional suffering, and property damage. When a hit-and-run driver is found, they can face both civil liability and criminal penalties.
A skilled personal injury attorney can help gather evidence, such as traffic camera footage, witness statements, and vehicle descriptions, to identify the suspect and strengthen a victim’s claim. Legal representation also ensures that victims understand their rights and receive fair compensation from all available sources, including uninsured motorist coverage.
