FSRA Crashes in Texas
Failure to stop and render aid (FSRA), often referred to as hit-and-run incidents, poses a significant threat to public safety. Texas law mandates that all drivers involved in accidents, particularly those resulting in injuries or fatalities, must stop and provide assistance. Fleeing the scene not only compounds the harm caused by the crash but also constitutes a serious legal offense.
In a bustling metropolitan area like Houston, major roadways such as Westheimer Rd frequently see high volumes of traffic, increasing the risk of accidents. Hit-and-run incidents create unique challenges for victims, as they may face delayed medical attention, financial burdens, and legal complications.
Investigators in FSRA cases work diligently to identify offenders through witness statements, surveillance footage, and other evidence. Meanwhile, victims and their families are encouraged to seek legal support to protect their rights and pursue compensation for damages.
