Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents in California
Hit-and-run accidents involving pedestrians are alarmingly common in California, particularly in areas with high traffic, like Woodland. These incidents often leave victims vulnerable to severe injuries while delaying critical medical assistance. Contributing factors may include distracted driving, speeding, or failure to yield.
Victims of hit-and-run accidents face significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges, including medical expenses and lost wages. California law allows injured pedestrians to seek compensation through their own insurance policies or legal claims once the at-fault driver is identified.
