Hit & Run (Leaving the Scene of an Accident)

The Cochran Firm provides aggressive defense for clients in Dallas

Hit & run is a criminal offense that is committed when people are involved in an auto accident and then choose to drive off or flee the scene.  In the state of Texas, anytime a driver is involved in a collision or crash, he/she is responsible for reporting the accident and identifying him/herself.  When people leave the scene of a car accident without checking on other people involved or without identifying possible property damage, they are committing hit & run and will be subjected to harsh legal penalties if they are convicted.
