Hit-and-Run Accidents in Georgia
Hit-and-run crashes pose significant risks and leave victims especially vulnerable, both physically and legally. Incidents like the one on I-20 near Langhorn St often happen in high-traffic corridors where drivers may feel pressured or panicked after a crash. In Georgia, fleeing the scene of an injury accident is a felony offense.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, thousands of hit-and-run collisions are reported each year, with many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. These cases often complicate the recovery process, as victims may be left with limited information to pursue claims or identify liable parties.
For those injured in hit-and-run incidents, seeking immediate medical care and gathering as much detail as possible—such as witness accounts or dashcam footage—can be critical to both physical recovery and legal resolution. Law enforcement agencies encourage anyone with knowledge of the fleeing vehicle to come forward.
Drivers are reminded to remain at the scene of any crash, regardless of fault, and to prioritize the safety of all involved. Leaving the scene not only endangers others but also carries serious legal consequences.
