What Can Make Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Crashes Serious?
Pedestrians have little physical protection when struck by a motor vehicle, which can result in severe injuries. Vehicle speed, impact location, roadway conditions, lighting, and the distance between the vehicle and pedestrian can affect the severity of a collision.
Hit-and-run crashes can also leave limited information at the scene. Witness accounts, nearby security footage, vehicle debris, paint transfers, and damage found on a vehicle may help establish what occurred. Medical records can provide additional information about the extent of injuries after a pedestrian crash.
