Hit-and-Run Accidents in Michigan
Hit-and-run accidents are a serious crime in Michigan, often leaving victims with injuries, vehicle damage, and financial burdens while the responsible driver remains unidentified. Some common reasons drivers flee the scene include:
- Driving Without a License or Insurance – Uninsured or unlicensed drivers may try to avoid legal consequences.
- Intoxicated Driving – Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs may flee to escape DUI charges.
- Fear of Legal Trouble – A driver with outstanding warrants or prior offenses may panic and leave the scene.
Victims of hit-and-run accidents often suffer from whiplash, head trauma, broken bones, and soft tissue injuries, requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Michigan law allows victims of hit-and-run crashes to seek compensation for medical expenses, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering, even if the at-fault driver is not identified. Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage may help cover losses if the driver is never found.
If you or someone you love has been involved in a hit-and-run accident, seeking legal and medical guidance can help ensure you receive the compensation and support needed for recovery.
