Hit-and-Run Accidents in Texas
Hit-and-run accidents pose a serious risk to victims, leaving them vulnerable to delayed medical assistance and financial uncertainty. In cities like Houston, these incidents occur frequently, particularly at busy intersections such as Harwin Drive and Ranchester Drive. Drivers who flee the scene of an accident may do so to avoid legal consequences, often after reckless driving, impaired driving, or operating a vehicle without insurance.
Victims of hit-and-run crashes often suffer not only physical injuries but also significant financial hardships due to medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle damage. Texas law allows those injured in hit-and-run incidents to seek compensation through their own uninsured motorist coverage if the at-fault driver is not located. In cases where the fleeing driver is identified, they may face criminal charges and civil liability for damages.
Establishing liability in a hit-and-run crash can be challenging, often requiring surveillance footage, witness statements, and law enforcement investigations. Seeking professional legal guidance can help victims understand their options and navigate the claims process effectively.
