Hit-and-Run Accidents in California
Hit-and-run accidents are a serious issue in California, especially in cities like San Francisco, where pedestrian activity is high. When a driver flees the scene of an accident, it not only delays necessary medical aid but also complicates the process of holding the responsible party accountable.
Under California law, drivers involved in accidents that result in injury or property damage are required to stop, provide assistance, and report the incident to authorities. Failing to do so can lead to severe legal consequences, including criminal charges and civil liability.
Victims of hit-and-run crashes often face significant medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional trauma. However, they may still have options for compensation through uninsured motorist coverage, crime victim assistance programs, or legal action against the responsible party if identified.
