Hit-and-Run Collisions in Los Angeles County
Hit-and-run crashes, such as the one reported at E Florence Ave and Miramonte Blvd, remain a serious safety problem in Los Angeles County. When a driver leaves the scene of an accident, it can delay critical medical attention for injured victims and complicate investigations.
California law requires all drivers involved in a collision to remain at the scene, provide identification, and render aid when necessary. Failing to do so—particularly when injuries are involved—is a criminal offense that can carry significant penalties.
Injury victims of hit-and-run collisions may face additional challenges in recovering damages, often relying on uninsured motorist coverage or pursuing legal action once the fleeing driver is identified.
If you’ve been injured in a hit-and-run, it’s important to seek immediate medical care, gather as much evidence as possible, and contact legal professionals who can help navigate insurance claims and potential litigation.
