Hit and Run Accidents
Motor vehicle collisions are unexpected and can be deadly. Beyond the damage they cause to your car or truck, there is also the risk of bodily harm or death. Hit and run accidents can be some of the most difficult to deal with since you typically don’t have any or enough information about the other party to track them down and pin their fair share of the responsibility on them. Furthermore, insurance companies are likely to complicate the process of providing you with the compensation you deserve.
Hit and run accidents are a serious crime and will lead to the offender facing heftier legal charges. However, they are not that uncommon, and despite the moral shortfalls and increased risk, people may choose to flee the accident scene for a number of reasons, such as the following:
● The driver has a scared or panicked emotional reaction.
● The driver is in the process of or has recently committed a crime.
● The driver is using a stolen or unregistered vehicle.
● The driver has an outstanding warrant.
● The driver is worried about the financial or legal repercussions.
