Hit-and-run accidents are a growing concern in Los Angeles and across California, leaving victims injured and often without immediate assistance. These incidents occur when a driver involved in a crash fails to stop, provide aid, or exchange information, which is a serious offense under California law.
Common reasons for hit-and-run accidents include distracted driving, driving under the influence, or driving without a valid license or insurance. Unfortunately, victims are often left with medical expenses and other damages while authorities work to locate the responsible party.
