Hit-and-Run Accidents in Maryland
Hit-and-run accidents, like the one on Reisterstown Rd, are particularly devastating for victims, as they not only face physical and emotional injuries but also challenges in identifying the responsible party. Maryland law requires drivers involved in accidents to remain at the scene and provide assistance or information as needed. Fleeing the scene is a criminal offense and can lead to severe penalties.
For victims, pursuing justice and compensation after a hit-and-run can be complex. However, victims may be eligible to seek compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or other legal avenues while authorities work to identify the at-fault driver.
To avoid becoming a victim of hit-and-run, drivers are advised to stay vigilant, use defensive driving practices, and remain cautious in high-traffic areas.
