Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents

Unfortunately, about 59,000 pedestrians sustained injuries in 2009 in California. When vehicles strike pedestrians and proceed to flee the scene, it’s usually due to fear of being arrested or paying fines. If the driver responsible doesn’t already have a criminal history, they are afraid of getting one. If they do have a criminal history, they may fear going to jail. Despite a driver’s intent, it’s never okay to drive off without helping an injured victim after striking them.
