Hit-and-Run Accidents in California
Hit-and-run accidents remain a growing concern in California, where thousands of such incidents are reported annually. Drivers who flee the scene of a crash, particularly those involving injuries, can face serious legal consequences, including felony charges.
California law mandates that all drivers involved in an accident stop, exchange information, and provide assistance if needed. Failing to do so can result in severe penalties, including fines and potential imprisonment.
For victims of hit-and-run accidents, recovering damages can be challenging, particularly if the suspect is not identified. However, legal options may still be available, including uninsured motorist claims or compensation through legal action. Consulting with an attorney can help victims understand their rights and explore potential legal avenues.
