Hit-and-Run Accidents in California
Hit-and-run crashes are a significant issue across California, with many victims left to deal with injuries and damages while authorities work to locate the responsible driver. Under California law, all drivers involved in accidents must remain at the scene and provide aid if necessary. Fleeing the scene can result in severe legal consequences, including felony charges if injuries occur.
Victims of hit-and-run accidents often face complex challenges, from medical expenses to insurance claims. If the fleeing driver is not found, uninsured motorist coverage may help cover damages. However, navigating these situations can be difficult without legal assistance.
San Francisco sees a high number of hit-and-run incidents, particularly in busy areas like Powell St and Green St, where pedestrian traffic and intersections increase the risk of collisions. Drivers are urged to remain aware of their surroundings, obey traffic signals, and report any suspicious or reckless driving behavior.
