Drivers who get arrested after committing hit-and-run crimes can face up to three months in jail and pay a fine of up to $10,000. Drivers commit hit-and-run crimes for a multitude of reasons. Most of the time fear won’t allow them to take responsibility for their actions and remain at the crash site, especially if they were partaking in negligent behavior, such as speeding, driving under the influence, or using a cell phone.

Once the police catch the driver responsible for this accident, it will be easier for the injured victim to file a personal injury claim and prove the four elements of negligence, which are duty, breach, causation, and damages.
