Hit-and-Run Accidents in Ohio
Hit-and-run crashes are particularly concerning as they leave victims without immediate accountability from the at-fault driver. These incidents often occur due to reckless driving, distraction, or impaired driving, with drivers fleeing to avoid responsibility.
Under Ohio law, drivers involved in crashes must remain at the scene and report the incident. Fleeing the scene of an accident, especially one involving injuries, can result in severe legal consequences, including criminal charges and license revocation.
Law enforcement officials investigating hit-and-run accidents typically review surveillance footage, witness statements, and vehicle debris to track down the responsible party. Victims of hit-and-run accidents may still have legal options, including uninsured motorist coverage claims or other avenues for compensation.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a hit-and-run crash, seeking legal guidance can help you understand your rights and potential options for recovery.
