Hit and Run Penalties in Arizona
Felony Hit and Run (Injury/Death)
Hit and run causing injury or death is a felony in Arizona, punishable by prison time, fines, and license revocation.
Misdemeanor Hit and Run (Property Damage)
Hit and run causing only property damage is typically a misdemeanor, but still carries significant penalties.
Civil Liability
In addition to criminal penalties, hit and run drivers face civil liability for all damages caused to victims.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage in Arizona
If the hit and run driver is never found, your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage becomes your primary source of compensation in Arizona. We strongly recommend all drivers carry UM/UIM coverage to protect themselves in hit and run situations.
UM Coverage Can Pay For:
- Medical expenses and future treatment
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering damages
- Property damage (depending on policy)
What Arizona Hit and Run Victims Should Know
- → Report the hit and run to police immediately - this is required for UM claims
- → Check nearby businesses for surveillance camera footage
- → Document any vehicle description, partial plates, or debris at the scene
- → Seek medical attention even for minor injuries - symptoms often appear later
- → Contact a hit and run attorney before speaking with insurance adjusters
