Hit-and-Run Pedestrian Accidents in California

Fresno, CA - Pedestrian Struck & Killed in Hit-and-Run at W El Monte Way

Over the last several years, nearly 35,000 accidents resulted in fatalities, major injuries, or minor injuries on Bay Area roadways. Thousands of lives are lost every year on California's highways, major thoroughfares connecting large city centers, local streets, and beyond. This is especially true for pedestrian accidents, which often cause catastrophic consequences for vulnerable victims. Furthermore, many of these fatal accidents may be hit-and-run crashes, where a driver leaves the scene after an accident.

Serious car accidents causing injuries or even fatalities are an unfortunately common part of life in California. When multiple victims are injured in an accident, they may have to deal with other drivers' insurance companies, long-term physical pain, and expensive hospital bills. Occasionally, as a result of these incidents, victims succumb to their injuries, leaving their grieving families to cope with emotional trauma and financial difficulties as a result of another driver's negligence.

But the victims and their families affected by these wrecks can seek help from a California injury attorney. A skilled attorney in California can help victims seek justice and the fair compensation they deserve after suffering in an accident that occurred through no fault of their own.

Fatal Bicycle Accidents in California

2.4 San Jose, CA - Jose Gastelum Killed in Hit-and-Run Bicycle Accident on S First St

According to data released by the California Department of Transportation, deadly bike injuries are on the rise throughout the state. In fact, more than 60% of fatal bicycle crashes were caused by distracted drivers hitting cyclists, even when riders used bike lanes or the sidewalk to observe traffic regulations. Furthermore, cyclists are particularly vulnerable to serious injury or death after a bike crash. Due to the fact that bicyclists do not have the protection of passenger vehicles, riders may be subject to more severe consequences as a result of an accident.

These serious bike accidents causing injuries or even fatalities are an unfortunately common part of life in California, particularly in busy metro locations like the Bay Area. When multiple victims are injured in an accident, they may have to deal with other drivers' insurance companies, long-term physical pain, and expensive hospital bills. Occasionally, as a result of these incidents, victims succumb to their injuries, leaving their grieving families to cope with emotional trauma and financial difficulties as a result of another driver's negligence.

But the victims and their families affected by these wrecks can seek help from a California wrongful death attorney. A skilled attorney in California can help victims seek justice and the fair compensation they deserve after suffering in an accident that occurred through no fault of their own.
