When emergency crews arrived at the scene to help, Hinojoza had already succumbed to his injuries. Fortunately, the driver responsible remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities as they investigated the accident.

We send our condolences to Hinojoza’s family as we know losing a loved one is always heartbreaking, especially if the accident was preventable.
Pedestrian Accidents in California
Despite California laws protecting pedestrians’ rights at all times, thousands of pedestrians are still injured and killed every year. The leading cause of most of these accidents is negligent driving, which includes drivers driving reckless and distracted. Other contributing factors include malfunctioning auto parts, hazardous weather conditions, and dangerous road conditions.
Once the police finish their investigation, Hinojoza’s family may qualify to file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death attorney.
