Virginia Beach Man 41 Charged in Fatal Hit-and-Run [Virginia Beach, VA]

A 41-year-old resident of Virginia Beach has been apprehended in connection with a tragic hit-and-run incident that resulted in a fatality. The arrest underscores the severe legal consequences of such offenses and highlights the importance of legal recourse for victims and their families.

Understanding Hit-and-Run Offenses

A hit-and-run occurs when a driver involved in a collision leaves the scene without providing contact information or offering assistance to those injured. This act is not only illegal but also exacerbates the suffering of victims and their families, as it delays medical aid and complicates legal proceedings.

Potential Compensation for Victims

Victims of hit-and-run incidents, or their surviving family members in fatal cases, may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:

Medical Expenses: Coverage for hospital bills, rehabilitation, and any ongoing medical treatments resulting from the accident.
Lost Wages: This is reimbursement for income lost due to the inability to work during recovery or a loved one’s death.
Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress endured because of the incident.
Loss of Consortium: Damages awarded to family members for the loss of companionship and support.
