The number of hit-and-run accidents has significantly increased nationwide in recent years. Most fatal hit-and-run accidents involve pedestrians, and drivers who flee the scene of an accident are responsible for around 5 percent of all traffic fatalities in the country. The vulnerability of a bicyclist or pedestrian involved in such a collision is already pronounced, and the absence of immediate assistance due to the fleeing driver further compounds the challenges faced by the victim. The aftermath of hit-and-run accidents can leave lasting physical, emotional, and financial repercussions on the individuals involved.  In such distressing circumstances, seeking legal guidance from a knowledgeable attorney can provide clarity on the available legal remedies and alleviate concerns, ultimately aiding in the process of recovery and seeking justice for the victims.
