Hit-and-Run Accident Statistics

One of the worst things that can happen to you is a car accident caused by another driver’s carelessness. Things will only get worse if the other driver does not pull over and accept responsibility for the collision.

Unsafe driving conditions are further worsened by an excessive number of hit-and-runs. Hit-and-run accidents claimed the lives of 2,049 Americans last year. According to a recent study, more than 680,000 hit-and-runs are reported in the United States each year. At least one pedestrian is hit and run over by a car or truck every single week.

Most pedestrian accidents are the fault of careless motorists, and there is no legal recourse for the unfortunate victims.

People may choose to leave the scene of an accident for a variety of reasons. Because of the uncertainty that comes with being an immigrant, you have a higher risk of being involved in a car accident.
