Everyone knows that the right thing to do after a car accident is to stop and share contact information with the other driver. Not only is this the ethical thing to do, but it is also required by Texas law (Texas Transportation Code Chapter 550.021).
When a driver is involved in a collision, they must stop their vehicle. Failure to stop is considered a “hit-and-run,” and leaving the scene of an accident is a crime in the state of Texas.
If you were victimized by a hit-and-run, you may have suffered severe injuries. You may have expensive medical bills in addition to property damage. You may also be unable to work due to your injuries. But can you pursue compensation for these losses through a personal injury claim?
Successfully getting compensation for a hit-and-run accident in 2026 can be a challenging process, but it is often possible with the help of a Plano, TX car accident attorney.
