Hit-and-Run Accidents in Texas
Hit-and-run accidents, like the one in San Antonio, are particularly devastating as they leave victims injured and vulnerable without immediate aid from the responsible party. The reckless act of fleeing the scene can delay life-saving medical care for those injured.
Pedestrian accidents at crosswalks are often caused by speeding, driver inattention, or failure to yield. When combined with the failure to remain at the scene, these incidents carry severe legal and moral consequences.
Victims of hit-and-run accidents face unique challenges in seeking justice and financial recovery. Identifying the responsible party, as in this case, is a critical step toward obtaining compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional trauma.
