When a negligent driver injures a pedestrian or the occupant of a vehicle, he can often be held liable for injuries and damages. When the negligent driver is found guilty of hit and run, i.e. leaving the scene of the accident, he or she can also sometimes:
- Be charged with a crime
- Be held responsible for punitive damages (which are "extra" damages to punish the driver for having left the scene)
