A hit and run accident in Austin Texas can be extremely nerve-wracking, even more so than some other types of motor vehicle incidents. When the other driver flees the scene, you may be left to deal with the repercussions of the accident entirely alone. In the state of Texas, all drivers are required, by law, to stop and render aid at the scene of an accident. However, drivers across the state and beyond leave the scene of accidents in order to avoid possible legal and financial repercussions. If you or any of your passengers were seriously injured, a hit and run accident can be particularly dangerous and costly. Fortunately, you may be able to seek compensation for your injuries. Attorney Stephen Stewart is ready to fight for you.
