Man Suffers Serious Injuries in Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accident
Tower District, CA (December 4, 2018) In the early morning of December 2nd, a hit-and-run pedestrian accident happened on Olive Avenue. According to the reports, a 36-year-old man named John Rodriguez was standing on a sidewalk when a man bumped into him. Shortly after the encounter, they got into a brawl and the unidentified man pushed and threw Rodriguez into the road. A Chrysler 300 hit Rodriguez and proceeded to drive off without stopping. Paramedics arrived and transported Rodriguez to Community Regional Medical Center for serious head injuries. Rodriguez underwent surgery and has remained unconscious since. The police are currently searching for the unidentified man who pushed Rodriguez in the street as well as the driver responsible for hitting him.
We are sorry to hear that Rodriguez is unconscious after suffering serious head injuries. We hope he fully recovers, and we hope his family maintains the strength to work through this challenging time.
Pedestrian Accidents in California
On average, every 7 minutes a pedestrian suffers injuries after being struck by a vehicle in the United States. Fortunately, the California personal injury law is designed to protect those who received injuries caused by negligence, recklessness, or the inaction of witnesses. Injured victims could suffer anywhere from a month to a lifetime, which is why it’s important for them to file personal injury lawsuits to help cover current and future medical expenses.
Rodriguez’ family should seek legal representation immediately to help them start gathering all of the necessary facts and evidence to prove their negligence claim. The police are still investigating the accident, but there’s a chance that all four occupants in the vehicle could be held liable along with the man that pushed him in the street.
