Hit-and-Run Collisions in California
Hit-and-run accidents are a serious issue on California roadways, particularly on busy highways such as SR-91. These incidents not only cause injuries and property damage but also delay emergency response and complicate investigations due to the absence of the at-fault driver.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) emphasizes that drivers must remain at the scene of an accident to provide assistance and exchange information, as failing to do so is a violation of the law. Factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and impaired driving are often contributors to hit-and-run accidents.
For those injured in a hit-and-run collision, taking immediate steps is crucial. This includes seeking medical attention, documenting the scene, and providing as much information as possible to authorities. Consulting with legal professionals can also help victims pursue compensation for damages and injuries.
