Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents in California
Pedestrian accidents on major highways like SR-60 are particularly dangerous due to high vehicle speeds and limited visibility at night. Hit-and-run collisions add another layer of risk, as victims may experience delayed medical attention if bystanders are not present to call for help.
Drivers involved in pedestrian crashes are legally required to remain at the scene and assist the injured. Fleeing the scene can result in severe criminal penalties, especially when injuries are involved.
For victims of hit-and-run accidents, seeking immediate medical attention and gathering any available evidence—such as witness statements or surveillance footage—can be crucial in identifying the responsible party. Those injured in pedestrian crashes may be eligible for compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
