Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents in California
Hit-and-run accidents involving pedestrians are among the most dangerous incidents on California roads. When a driver flees the scene, injured victims are left without immediate help, increasing the risk of serious or fatal outcomes. Pedestrians often suffer severe injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and internal injuries, due to the lack of protection in these crashes.
Law enforcement agencies work to track down hit-and-run drivers using traffic cameras, witness statements, and forensic evidence from the crash site. In cases where the responsible driver cannot be located, victims may still have options for financial recovery through uninsured motorist coverage or other legal avenues.
