The Impact of Hit-and-Run Accidents in North Carolina
Hit-and-run crashes are a serious problem in North Carolina, leaving victims injured and struggling to seek justice. Drivers who flee the scene of an accident not only violate state law but also make it difficult for victims to receive timely medical care and financial recovery.
Intersections like Old Statesville Rd and I-485 are common locations for such incidents due to high traffic volumes and frequent merging lanes. Many hit-and-run crashes involve distracted drivers, reckless driving, or failure to yield. Unfortunately, victims in these situations may be left with mounting medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing physical recovery challenges.
North Carolina law holds hit-and-run offenders accountable with severe penalties, including fines, license suspension, and criminal charges. Victims injured in these crashes may still be able to recover compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or legal action against the responsible driver if they are identified.
