Hit-&-Run Accidents in New York
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in hit-and-run accidents across the country. Pedestrians are the target of most dangerous hit-and-run incidents, and drivers who flee the scene of an accident are responsible for roughly 5 percent of all traffic fatalities nationwide. A pedestrian or cyclist is already significantly disadvantaged when they are involved in a collision. If a motorist leaves the scene without providing aid, the victim might not be able to receive the vital care they need to fully recover. This explains in part why these types of accidents are often so serious. After a hit-and-run, it is common to feel scared and alone. A lawyer can assist you in determining your legal options and provide answers to your questions so that you can make a full recovery.
