Potential Severity of Hit-and-run Accidents in Ohio

Drivers in Ohio may face legal consequences if they leave the scene of an accident after knowing they have struck another vehicle or person. The Ohio State Highway Patrol records collisions throughout the state each year. During the latest reporting year, there were nearly 300,000 total vehicle collisions, resulting in 1,039 fatal collisions and more than 72,000 injury collisions. The exact number of hit-and-run incidents is not specified.

Hit-and-run collisions can result in severe injuries, including:

  • Broken and dislocated bones
  • Severe lacerations or puncture wounds
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Concussions
  • Spinal cord trauma with paralysis
  • Other severe back or neck injuries
  • Crush injuries or amputations
  • Internal organ damage or internal bleeding

Addressing Liability After a Hit-and-run Crash in Ohio

Determining liability after a hit-and-run crash in Ohio involves an investigation. Sometimes, the police may not be able to locate a hit-and-run driver, complicating the process of securing compensation for injury and property damage victims.

Hit-and-run crash victims might turn to their own uninsured motorist coverage to seek compensation for their losses. This type of insurance is not mandatory under Ohio law. If the police locate a hit-and-run driver with insurance, victims can pursue compensation through a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier. If the hit-and-run driver lacks insurance coverage, victims may file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver to seek compensation.
