Texas hit and run accident lawyer Kris Barber represents motor vehicle accident victims, their families and friends who suffered a death in the family or sustained serious bodily injuries, pain and suffering, lost wages and medical bills because of the negligence of a hit and run driver.
A hit and run car accident can be a devastating event for the victims of these crimes. National government statistics indicate that approximately eleven percent of all vehicle accidents are hit and run car accidents. This equates to nearly 700,000 hit and run car accident cases each year in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the hit and run car accident rate has increased by fifteen percent since 1998 nationwide.
A hit and run car accident is defined as a party’s failure to stop after an accident. When a person is involved in a hit and run car accident, they are required by law to stop and exchange pertinent information with all other involved parties. If a hit and run car accident occurs and there are no witnesses present, the person is required to stop and leave a note including all relevant information.
If you find yourself the victim of a hit and run car accident, it is important to know what to do in order to protect your interests. Immediately following a hit and run car accident it is important to assess any physical injury that may have been caused in the accident. The police should be called to the scene immediately. All known information about the hit and run car accident perpetrator should be written down and included in the police report. All witnesses to the hit and run car accident should be identified and asked to report any helpful information they can provide.
A hit and run car accident perpetrator may receive civil and criminal penalties that may include any or all of the following: compensatory fines, punitive fines, loss or suspension of driver’s license, insurance and/or DMV points, loss of insurance coverage or driving privileges, probation, and jail time. Hit and run car accident penalties can be enhanced under a number of circumstances.
