Historically, identifying hit and run drivers was challenging due to factors like lack of license plates, drivers wearing sunglasses, and vision-impairing dust from unpaved roads. Where person injured in such accident is unconscious, appears deceased, or is otherwise unable to communicate, make every reasonable effort to ensure that emergency medical services and local law enforcement are contacted for the purpose of reporting the accident and making request for assistance. Georgia case law establishes that hit and run driver’s failure to identify themselves and assist the victim can be interpreted by jury as complete disregard for care and indifference to consequences, potentially leading to punitive damages awards. In cases involving hit and run accidents, securing fair compensation can be complex.
