Hit-and-Run Accidents in Georgia
Hit-and-run accidents are a serious issue across Georgia, particularly in densely populated areas like Atlanta. When drivers flee the scene of a crash, they leave victims without immediate aid, often exacerbating the severity of injuries.
Georgia law requires all drivers involved in accidents to stop, render aid, and provide necessary information. Failing to do so can result in criminal charges, including felony hit-and-run in cases involving serious injuries or fatalities.
According to the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, hit-and-run crashes have been on the rise in recent years, with thousands of incidents reported annually. Victims of these accidents often struggle with medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress, making it crucial to seek legal guidance for potential compensation.
