Hit-and-Run Accidents in California

If you are a victim of a hit-and-run accident in California, you can and should pursue legal help. Drivers have certain responsibilities when they are involved in a crash. When you are caught up in an accident and it involves an injury, it is required and necessary to alert the police and emergency services. You should always stop and not leave the scene.

The consequence of a hit-and-run accident is the fact that the driver, who left the scene intentionally or recklessly, has caused harm or has acted negligently. If you have been injured due to a circumstance like this, you are entitled to damages that compensate for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages.

Because everyone is aware of responsibilities at the scene of an accident, committing a hit-and-run is almost always reprehensible and worthy of damages.
