What is a Hit and Hit-and-Run Accident in Dallas?

Under Texas Transportation Code, Title 7, Section 550. 021, motorists cannot leave the scene of an accident that causes property damage or personal injury.

When the car is unoccupied, and only property damage is caused, the at-fault driver must leave a note with their contact information on the vehicle.

Fleeing the scene of an accident is a misdemeanor, and if personal injury results, it could be a third-degree felony. However, criminal penalties are separate from civil liability.

You need an experienced, skilled Dallas hit-and-run accident lawyer to help you identify the liable parties and recover full compensation for your damages.

Common Types of Injuries in Hit and Run Accidents

The victim of a Dallas hit-and-run accident may be a passenger in another vehicle, a pedestrian, or a bicyclist.

Injuries can be catastrophic in any of these scenarios. However, they are more likely to be fatal or life-altering if you were a pedestrian or cyclist involved in a hit-and-run accident.

Some common types of injuries in a Dallas hit-and-run accident include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Broken or crushed bones
• Spinal injuries
• Back and neck injuries
• Contusions
• Road rash

Why Would a Driver Flee the Scene of an Accident?

An at-fault driver may leave the scene of an accident for numerous reasons, including:

• They were driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.
• They have a criminal record or an outstanding arrest warrant.
• They have no insurance.
• They do not have a valid driver’s license.
• They were committing another crime at the time of the accident.
• They are not citizens and did not enter the country legally.
• The driver did not realize they had hit a person or another vehicle.
• The driver panics and makes a bad decision to leave the scene.
