Understanding Hit and Run Cases

Common Causes

  • Drivers fleeing the scene to avoid DWI charges
  • Uninsured drivers who panic after causing a crash
  • Drivers with suspended or revoked licenses
  • Drivers with outstanding warrants who fear police contact
  • Distracted drivers who may not realize they hit someone
  • Drivers who flee after striking pedestrians or cyclists

Typical Injuries

  • Severe injuries worsened by delayed emergency response
  • Traumatic brain injuries from pedestrian knockdowns
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Psychological trauma and anxiety disorders
  • Wrongful death when victims are left without aid

Establishing Liability

Identifying the fleeing driver is the first challenge in hit and run cases, and investigators rely on surveillance cameras, witness descriptions, vehicle debris, and paint transfer evidence to locate the responsible party. When the driver cannot be identified, the victim may still recover through their own uninsured motorist coverage. If the driver is eventually found, the act of fleeing the scene can serve as evidence of consciousness of guilt and support claims for additional damages.

Relevant Texas Law

Texas Transportation Code Section 550.021 requires drivers involved in an accident resulting in injury or death to stop, provide information, and render aid. Failure to stop is a felony under Texas law when serious injury or death is involved. Texas Insurance Code provisions regarding uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage allow victims to recover through their own policies when the at fault driver cannot be identified or lacks insurance.
