    In many jurisdictions if anyone is hurt related to a crime, the criminal is legally responsible for all damages.

    So for a situation like this, the criminal would be responsible for all damages stemming from their initial crime when they chose to run. Any damage in the chase or subsequent actions until they are killed or in custody.
