Hit-and-Run Collisions in Texas
Hit-and-run accidents, especially those involving serious injuries like open fractures, are among the most distressing events for victims and their families. In Texas, leaving the scene of an accident where injuries are involved is a criminal offense, and the consequences can be severe for those found guilty of FSRA. Sadly, these incidents continue to occur despite public awareness and stricter laws.
Victims of hit-and-run crashes are often left vulnerable—not only physically but also legally and financially. Without immediate identification of the responsible driver, challenges arise in pursuing compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and long-term treatment. However, injury victims still have avenues for support. Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, uninsured motorist policies, and crime victim compensation programs may offer temporary relief.
For residents in a major metropolitan area like Houston, the risk of vehicle-related injuries is compounded by high traffic volume and densely traveled routes such as FM 1960. Authorities continue to encourage anyone with information about hit-and-run crashes to report tips and support the ongoing investigations.
