Hit-and-Run Accidents in Ohio
Hit-and-run accidents are a growing concern in Ohio, leaving victims vulnerable and without immediate accountability. State law mandates that all drivers involved in a collision stop, provide aid if necessary, and exchange information. Failing to do so—especially when injuries are involved—is a serious offense that can result in criminal charges.
Victims of hit-and-run crashes often face challenges in securing compensation for medical expenses and vehicle repairs, particularly when the responsible driver is not found. However, uninsured motorist coverage and legal action may provide options for financial recovery.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a hit-and-run accident, knowing your rights is crucial. Local Accident Reports is dedicated to helping victims connect with the resources and support they need during the recovery process.
