Hit-and-Run Motorcycle Accidents in California

The reason most motorcycle accidents occur is because drivers aren’t always paying attention to their surroundings, which makes motorcyclists more susceptible to being seriously injured or killed. When drivers are texting, speeding, violating the rules of the road, driving under the influence, or conversing with passengers, they’re putting themselves and other motorcyclists at risk. When drivers know that their negligence caused an accident, there’s a possibility that they won’t want to remain at the scene to tend to any injured victims, which is why so many hit-and-run accidents happen every year in California.

Once the police find the driver responsible for this accident, Oleynik’s family could file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death attorney.
