Drivers that Flee Hit and Run Wrecks hurt Everyone

In many cases when an accident occurs, it’s critical that the accident victims receive medical attention as soon as possible. But drivers that flee the scene of the collisions they cause often leave their victims without recourse. Our Houston auto accident lawyers emphasize that especially at night when it may be some time before another passing driver notices and reports the wreck, the hit and run crime can result in more severe or fatal injuries.

Nationally, NHTSA data reveals that more than 10% of all motor vehicle collisions are listed as hit and run wrecks. That’s approximately 700,000 crashes per year. Our Houston auto accident lawyers note that in Houston, there are hundreds of hit and run crashes of varying severity every month, and only a small percentage of these cases are solved.

Drivers that cause injuries and fatalities in hit and run crashes should compensate their victims for the harm hey have caused. Texas law provides criminal penalties for fleeing the scene of an injury accident. And civil lawsuits provide a means for victims to obtain just financial compensation from those that have harmed them or their family members. When you know about a hit and run injury accident, your important information could help the injured victims obtain justice. Make a difference; report what you know.
