Hit and Run Attorney Houston, TX
What is Considered a Hit and Run?
An accident is considered a “hit and run” when the driver leaves the scene of an accident after causing injury or hits an unoccupied vehicle without leaving contact information.
In the state of Texas, a driver is required to stop for the following:
- Property Damage
- Bodily Injury
- Death
Upon stopping, the driver must provide the property owner or the other drivers involved with his or her contact information, driver’s license information and insurance information. A willful and intentional failure to stop and provide this information may result in serious criminal consequences.
