Hit-and-Run Crashes on Maryland Highways
Hit-and-run crashes on high-speed roadways like I-95 are particularly dangerous, often leaving victims without immediate assistance and creating additional hazards for other drivers. These incidents underscore the importance of identifying and holding accountable those who flee the scene of accidents.
Maryland law requires drivers involved in collisions to stop, provide assistance, and exchange information. Failing to do so is a serious offense with legal consequences. Hit-and-run victims often face additional challenges navigating insurance claims and pursuing compensation, making professional guidance crucial.
