The Consequences of Hit-and-Run Accidents in Charlotte
Hit-and-run accidents pose a serious danger to victims, often leaving them without immediate assistance or accountability from the responsible driver. In Charlotte, busy streets like Catalina Avenue and West 28th Street see frequent traffic, increasing the risks of collisions—especially when reckless or negligent driving is involved.
Leaving the scene of an accident is a criminal offense in North Carolina, and those found responsible for a hit-and-run may face severe legal consequences. Unfortunately, these incidents often leave victims struggling with medical bills, vehicle damages, and emotional distress as they await justice.
For those injured in a hit-and-run crash, seeking medical care, gathering witness statements, and reporting the accident to law enforcement are crucial steps. Legal options may be available for victims to recover compensation even if the at-fault driver is not immediately identified.
