Deadly Hit-&-Runs in Texas

Hit-and-run accidents can be particularly damaging, and injured parties are often unable to get the help they desperately need as the at-fault party flees the scene. Pedestrians and cyclists are at increased risk as they are often not able to get to a doctor or hospital in time. In the past ten years, there has been an almost 89 percent increase in the number of deadly hit-and-runs in the United States of America. Roughly 7 percent of traffic deaths across the country in 2021 were related to hit-and-run accidents, and over 6 out of 10 hit-and-run fatalities involve a pedestrian. The majority of these deadly accidents occurred at night. If you lost someone in a deadly pedestrian crash, it is crucial you take immediate action to pursue a claim for compensation. 

A deadly accident is never expected. These crashes can result in significant damages, and they are often left to the surviving family members. It can be a hard time for everyone, but it is often the family of the deceased that suffers the most. Most do not even consider taking legal action as they are too overwhelmed due to their loss. It can seem unnatural to make the death of a loved one into a legal issue, but you may be able to recover lost compensation following a fatal pedestrian crash.
