Hit-and-Run Risks on Georgia Highways
Crashes involving hit-and-run drivers can leave victims not only physically hurt but also struggling with emotional and legal uncertainty. The early-morning collision near Perkerson on IH 755 reflects the broader issue of motorists fleeing the scene of serious accidents, a trend that continues to affect Georgia highways at an alarming rate.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, the state has experienced a steady rise in hit-and-run incidents over the past five years. In many of these cases, lack of immediate identification makes it more difficult for victims to recover damages or secure needed medical coverage.
Victims of hit-and-run accidents are urged to document everything they can about the event, including vehicle descriptions, possible license plate digits, and witness statements. Reporting the incident immediately and obtaining medical evaluations are also critical steps. In many cases, victims may still be able to pursue compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or other legal avenues.
