Pedestrian Accidents in California

Whenever hit-and-run accidents occur  at night, it’s usually due to drunk or fatigued driving. Fear prevents a driver from taking full accountability for their actions, which ultimately leads to larger consequences. Once this driver is caught and arrested, he or she will be faced with serious charges. Because this accident was a clear act of negligence, the injured victim can file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney to help pay for current and future medical expenses.
