Protecting Your Rights in Texas Hit and Run Accidents

The American Automobile Association (AAA) reports that Texas ranks at the top of the list compared to other states when it comes to hit and run accidents. More than 200 of these types of crashes happen in our area each year. Despite the fact that drivers are required by law to stop at the scene, many chose to flee instead.
