Hit and Run Laws

Hit and run laws refer to legal regulations that require drivers involved in an accident to stop and provide their information, such as name and insurance details, to the other party or authorities. If a driver leaves the scene without doing so, they can face severe penalties, including fines, license suspension, and even jail time. These laws are in place to promote accountability and ensure that those affected by accidents receive appropriate support and compensation for damages or injuries. Each jurisdiction may have specific definitions and penalties related to hit and run incidents.
