Hit-and-Run Accidents in California
California reports thousands of hit-and-run accidents each year, many of which result in injuries or fatalities. Drivers who flee the scene of a crash not only violate the law but also put victims at greater risk by delaying emergency medical care.
Pedestrians are especially vulnerable in hit-and-run crashes, as they have little protection from the impact of a vehicle. Common factors in these incidents include reckless driving, distracted driving, and impaired motorists. In many cases, law enforcement relies on witness accounts and surveillance footage to track down the responsible party.
Victims of hit-and-run accidents may face significant medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. Seeking immediate medical care and legal guidance is crucial in these situations.
