It is illegal for drivers to leave an accident site without providing vital information to the other motorist, notifying authorities, and offering aid if someone is injured. Such is true whether a motorist collides with another vehicle on the road, a parked car, a pedestrian, or a bike. If there is a severe injury or death due to the accident, fleeing the scene might result in criminal charges.<\/span><\/p>\n If you were injured in a hit-and-run accident, you are entitled to compensation.

However, the injuries of a hit-and-run victim may be more severe since medical care takes more time. In addition, hit-and-run victims are less likely to get compensation for accident-related losses (such as car repairs and medical costs), mainly if the person who hit them is unknown.<\/span><\/p>\n In Indiana, all vehicles involved in an automobile accident must instantly follow numerous protocols, the most crucial of which is to pull over as quickly as possible. You’d also have to share information with the other party, whether that’s another driver or a pedestrian. Each accident will be treated differently depending on the degree of the damage and injuries sustained. Both drivers will be held legally liable for their roles in the collision, with fines or penalties imposed on one to compensate the other.<\/span><\/p>\n After an accident, young or inebriated drivers frequently panicked, fleeing the site before exchanging information or checking on the other party. This puts not just the other party’s safety in jeopardy, but also their own. If they’ve been hurt or their car has been damaged, driving immediately thereafter might result in much more damage. A traffic ticket is a minimum penalty for failing to pull over after an accident or follow the proper procedures. When there are damages or injuries, they will almost always face more severe accusations.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is a Hit and Run?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
