Raleigh-Durham Hit-and-Run Injuries

A Durham hit-and-run injured a 10-year-old boy earlier this month. The boy's leg and hand suffered injuries and none were life-threatening. A witness was able to help Durham County police find and arrest the driver by cornering the guilty vehicle in a driveway and blocking their exit until authorities arrived. The driver was charged with a felony hit-and-run after police arrested him.

NC Hit-and-Run Law

North Carolina hit-and-run accidents leave victims in a vulnerable, frightening and stressful predicament. When a driver fails to stop and identify themselves after hitting someone or someone else's vehicle, they are committing a crime. Hit-and-run laws were established to bring justice to families of fatal accidents as well as victims who suffered injuries and property damage. There are serious consequences for anyone guilty of a hit-and-run accident. NC hit-and-run laws have the potential to suspend or revoke someone's license. In some cases, the criminal offense can also lead to imprisonment.

Car Accident Injuries

Hit-and-run injuries happen at the scene of the accident and can trigger future conditions. This summer a bike rider was hit by what witnesses believe was a Toyota Avalon. He survived and then died a month later when a blood clot traveled to his lungs.

Injuries from hit-and-run accidents vary from:

* Broken ribs and bones
* Spinal fractures
* Brain trauma
* Internal bleeding
* Post-traumatic stress
