Common Reasons for a Hit and Run Injury Accident

Over 6 million car accident and traffic collisions occur in the United States every year according to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Of these 6 million accidents, about 3 million involve injuries. Of these injuries over 2 million are life-changing or permanent injuries for the victim. These statistics prove how great the need is to increase traffic safety and reduce the number of auto collisions each year.

Unfortunately, often times when a driver is guilty of another crime they will flee the scene in an attempt to escape any consequences. Other common reasons for hit and run injury accidents are:

  • Drunk driving
  • Driver is uninsured
  • Invalid driver’s license
  • Driver is under the influence of illegal drugs
  • Driver is already warrant for an arrest
