Hit-and-Run Collisions in Georgia
Hit-and-run accidents remain a serious concern across Georgia, with both urban and suburban communities like Marietta seeing their share of such incidents. In addition to causing harm, fleeing the scene can significantly delay medical aid for victims and complicate legal proceedings.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, thousands of hit-and-run crashes occur annually, many resulting in injuries or fatalities. Drivers may flee due to lack of insurance, impaired driving, or outstanding legal issues, but leaving the scene of an injury accident is a criminal offense under state law.
For victims, these incidents often create added stress as they navigate medical treatment, vehicle repairs, and insurance claims. Working with law enforcement and collecting as much evidence as possible from the scene, such as witness statements or surveillance footage, can help in holding offenders accountable.
