What Is a Hit and Run Accident?

A hit and run accident occurs when a driver gets into an accident and flees the scene of that accident. This may be a simple fender bender, or it could be a devastating accident that causes major injuries. When this happens to you, it could entitle you to compensation in a hit and run accident lawsuit.

Reasons for Hit and Run Accidents in Baltimore

Leaving the scene violates Maryland law and is a crime. Yet, negligent drivers do it anyway. This may be for several reasons, such as:

• The vehicle is stolen.
• The driver was drunk or high behind the wheel.
• The driver doesn’t have a valid driver’s license.
• The driver has outstanding warrants for their arrest.
• The driver panicked and drove away.
• The driver is in the U.S. illegally.
• The driver has illegal drugs in the car.

Whatever the reason is, it is no excuse to hit and run. A hit and run attorney in Baltimore knows how to seek compensation in your case when this happens to you.

How to Prove a Hit and Run Accident Lawsuit
