Hit-and-Run Accidents in Texas

Houston, TX – Person Injured in Hit-and-Run Crash on Airport BlvdHit-and-run accidents are a growing problem in Texas. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, thousands of these crashes occur every year, leaving victims with injuries and property damage. Many hit-and-run drivers flee the scene to avoid legal consequences, but leaving an accident without stopping is a crime.

Understanding why hit-and-run accidents happen can help drivers stay alert and take precautions. Here are some common reasons these crashes occur:

  • Driver Panic – Some drivers flee because they fear arrest due to intoxication, a suspended license, or outstanding warrants.
  • Uninsured Drivers – Motorists without insurance often try to avoid financial responsibility by leaving the scene.
  • Distracted Driving – Drivers who hit a pedestrian or another vehicle may not even realize it immediately, especially if they are distracted by their phone or other activities.
  • Reckless Driving – Speeding, running red lights, and aggressive driving can lead to serious crashes. In many cases, reckless drivers flee to avoid being caught.
  • Impaired Driving – Alcohol or drug use impairs judgment and reaction time, and intoxicated drivers may panic and leave rather than face DUI charges.
