HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT STATISTICS

A car accident caused by another driver’s negligence is one of the worst things that can happen to you.

Things could worsen even if the other driver does not stop or admit fault for the collision.

Too many hit-and-runs cause car accidents. Last year, 2,049 Americans were killed in hit-and-run accidents.

Every year, over 680,000 hit-and-runs occur in the United States. When a pedestrian is hit, at least one person is killed.

Pedestrians injured in accidents caused by careless drivers are not entitled to compensation.

Many factors can cause a driver to flee the scene of an accident, including intoxication, prior criminal history, a lack of a current California driver’s license, or being an undocumented alien.
