We designed this website to provide information to consumers, injured people, and their families. Our goal is to level the playing field between consumers and insurance companies and expose the tricks, traps, and techniques they use to cheat injured people out of their legal rights. We also let consumers know about legal news, including verdicts and settlements and other interesting legal information.
But please understand that nothing on this website is meant to provide legal information about your specific case, create an attorney-client relationship, or imply that the results of your legal case will be the same as some other case.
A woman who was sweeping her driveway by standing in a bike lane in north Houston is now dead after being hit by a driver who sped away after the collision. The woman, Maria Hernandez, 57, died at the scene of the accident in the 400 block of Crosstimbers.
According to police, the driver, Maria Guadalupe Reyes, 33, of Houston, hit Hernandez and kept driving. She is charged with failure to stop and render aid. Reyes is being held in the Harris County Jail without bail. Accident investigators are attempting to determine if she is in the country legally.
When police went to arrest Reyes she did not resist arrest, and even admitted to hitting Hernandez and leaving the scene of the wreck. Reyes will have to appear in court on the charges against her.
In Texas, drivers involved in an auto accident must stop and wait for the police to arrive or they must exchange information with the other person involved in the crash. If injuries are involved, the person who hit another vehicle or person is required to stop and render aid if an injury is involved.
Drivers who fail to stop and wait for police, exchange information, or render aid can be charged and can face fines or jail time.
