Pedestrian Accidents in California
The reason almost one hundred thousand hit-and-run accidents happen every year is because drivers don’t want to suffer the consequences of their actions. They would rather flee the scene instead of helping the victim that they injured. A lot of times, the driver responsible is a criminal on the run with a warrant out for their arrest. Other times drivers are in a stolen vehicle, or a vehicle has no valid registration and auto-insurance. It could also be that the driver has an expired or suspended license and shouldn’t be driving on the road. No matter the reason, it’s always disappointing when a driver hits a pedestrian and leaves them to suffer. Once the police capture the driver responsible, the deceased victim’s family could file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of an attorney.
