Why do drivers flee the scene of hit-and-run accidents?

The other driver was driving a stolen car or committing a crime at the time of the crash.
The other driver has an outstanding arrest warrant.

These are just some of the reasons why these car accidents often turn out to be complicated legal cases. That’s why we want to help you.

If you or a loved one has been involved in a car accident caused by a hit-and-run driver, we strongly recommend that you take the following steps to protect your rights and your health:

Do not try to follow the hit-and-run driver. You could put your life at risk.

Write down as much as you can remember about the car and driver who caused your crash, including:
- Type of car
- Color of car
- Direction car was heading
- Driver’s gender, race or any other distinguishing attributes
If someone saw your accident, get the witness’ full name, address and phone number.
