Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents in California

Most hit-and-run pedestrian accidents occur when drivers know they were partaking in negligent behavior at the time of the crash and don’t want to face the consequences of their accidents. Because witnesses reported that the driver veered into the direction of the pedestrians, there’s a possibility that drugs or alcohol could have been contributing factors. The driver was probably under the influence and fearfully drove off instead of remaining at the scene to tend to the injured victim until help came.

Once the police find the driver responsible, they will likely face serious hit-and-run charges. Since negligence was involved, the injured man could file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
