Hit and Run Accidents

Head-on collisions demand the skills of an experienced lawyer

Hit-and-run accidents are extremely frustrating. When someone leaves the scene without exchanging information or producing any documents, it's likely that person is going to fight any settlement an injured party may seek. Hit-and-run accidents may lead to severe injuries with expensive medical bills and significant property damage.

Hit-and-run accidents in Texas and elsewhere are considered serious legal matters. It's against the law to leave the scene of an accident. Depending on the severity of the accident, a driver who flees can face serious consequences. For example, if a wrongful death occurs as a result of the hit-and-run collision, the driver could face jail time.

If you were injured in a hit-and-run wreck in San Antonio or elsewhere in Texas, contact a determined car accident attorney. The Herrera Law Firm can put our experience and resources to work for you.
