Pedestrian Accidents in California

Many hit-and-run pedestrian accidents take place in California every year because drivers know that they have partaken in negligent behavior, such as in distracted driving and intoxication cases. They decide to flee the scene so that they won’t be held accountable for their reckless actions, which can lead to serious results to the pedestrian involved. Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable parties on our roadways and their lives could be endangered easily in these accidents.
