Hit-and-Run Case

A hit-and-run case refers to a legal situation in which a driver involved in an accident causes injury or property damage and subsequently flees the scene without providing their contact information or assisting the injured parties. This type of incident is considered a serious offense as it violates laws requiring drivers to stop and render aid after an accident. Hit-and-run incidents can lead to criminal charges, civil liability, and penalties such as fines or imprisonment, depending on the severity of the accident and the jurisdiction’s laws. The term highlights the accountability expected from drivers to uphold safety standards on the road and the legal implications of failing to do so.
