Austin Hit and Run Accidents
Being in any motor vehicle collision is stressful. And if you know you caused the accident, you know there may be fines and other penalties in your future. But being scared is no reason to leave the scene of an accident. In fact, Texas law states that you must stop or return to the scene of any accident that results in death, injury and/or personal damage.
Even though it is a felony to leave the scene of an accident in Texas, hundreds of motorcyclists are victims of hit and run accidents each year.
Help for Hit and Run Accident Victims
If you’ve been injured in a hit and run accident, you’re not left to pay for your medical bills and suffer lost wages on your own.

Frequently, they don’t just get away with leaving you injured and your motorcycle needing repair.
