EXPERIENCED HIT AND RUN CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS

California has more hit-and-run car accidents than any other state. Almost 10 percent of the state’s fatal automobile accidents are a result of hit-n-run accidents. National government statistics show that about 11 percent of car accidents are of the hit-and-run variety. That means almost 700,000 hit-and-run automobile accidents happen in the United States every year.

According to the California Hit and Run Law, the driver of any vehicle involved in an accident is required to stop the vehicle, locate the owner of the damaged vehicle or property and exchange driver documentation, including: name, address, insurance and vehicle the owner’s information. The driver is also required to stop and render aid to anyone that was injured in the motor-vehicle accident, regardless of whose fault the car accident was.

It is extremely important to report your hit-and-run accident along with whatever information you can remember about the other vehicle, including the car’s license plate number to the proper law enforcement authorities as soon as possible. The police will then be able to investigate the hit-and-run accident and attempt to locate the fleeing driver.

Hit-and-Run accidents can have devastating effect on their victims. Unlike other automobile accidents, Hit-&-Run collisions present unique challenges for prosecution of your claim. Often, the driver and vehicle can not be located. Other times, the reason the driver fled the scene to begin with, was that they did not have automobile insurance, leaving the victims unable to recover from the responsible parties.
