WHAT IS A HIT-AND-RUN? 

A hit and run accident are when the person responsible flees from the scene of the crash. Sadly, some people have been known to flee even though it was only a fender bender.  

Also, a person could experience fines, criminal charges, license revocation, or even jail time. Although, this all depends on what state you live in. 

Since the penalties can be severe, they are often the reason that a driver may choose to flee. Here is a look at a few penalty examples:  

  • The most obvious reason is they lack auto insurance coverage. 
  • They know that they have just broken the law and are afraid.  
  • They have been using drugs or alcohol. 
  • The vehicle they are driving is stolen. 

Rest assured that being involved in a car accident is more than enough to ruin anyone’s day. However, the experience can be especially disorienting if you are involved in a hit-and-run.
