Hit-and-Run Accidents in California
Hit-and-run accidents are a growing concern in California, particularly in urban areas like San Francisco. When a driver flees the scene of a crash, it not only delays medical assistance for injured victims but also complicates the process of seeking justice and compensation.
Victims of hit-and-run accidents may face significant challenges, including medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress. In many cases, uninsured motorist coverage can help cover damages when the responsible driver is not identified. Additionally, law enforcement works diligently to track down hit-and-run offenders using traffic camera footage, witness accounts, and other investigative methods.
California law imposes strict penalties on drivers who leave the scene of an accident, especially when injuries are involved. Anyone affected by a hit-and-run crash should seek both medical attention and legal guidance to explore their options for recovery.
