Hit-and-Run Accident Statistics

A car accident caused by another driver’s carelessness is never a pleasant experience. This situation will get much worse if the other driver refuses to pull over or accept responsibility for the accident.

There are far too many instances of hit-and-runs in car accidents. In the United States, 2,049 people died in hit-and-run accidents in 2016. A recent study estimates that there are 682,000 hit-and-runs in the United States each year. At least once a week, a pedestrian is struck and run over by a car.

Pedestrians are at the mercy of other drivers’ negligence, which is the leading cause of pedestrian accidents.

The decision to leave the scene of an accident can be made for a variety of reasons, many of which are at odds with one another. Immigrants and others in precarious situations are more likely to be involved in car accidents after drinking alcohol.
