Commentary:
Hit-and-run accidents tend to fall into two categories, in my experience researching these kinds of crashes. The offending driver may have kicked into fight-or flight mode and drove off in a panicked daze, but these types usually return to the scene a short while later to take responsibility. The other half of hit-and-run drivers are generally hiding something. I’ve seen cases where the driver had active warrants out for his arrest, or he was under the influence of drugs. Either way, the driver should be liable for the accident, depending on how the facts fall into place.
