Hit-and-Run Bicycle Crashes in California

Bicyclists have as much a right to be on the road as motorists. When a bicyclist is injured in a collision with a vehicle, the bicyclist is at a major disadvantage simply due to the weight, speed, and protection that a vehicle possesses.

Motorists have the responsibility to drive safely around bicyclists. When an accident does occur, the driver is required by law to remain at the scene, provide aid to the injured if possible, and cooperate with authorities.

Someone who’s been injured in a hit-and-run bike accident deserves compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other costs.
