Deadly Hit-&-Runs in California

Hit-and-runs are completely traumatic events. These accidents overwhelmingly impact pedestrians and cyclists who are unable to pursue their assailants. There were 369 reported fatal hit-and-runs in California in 2016. 

Deadly hit-and-runs have hit an all-time high in the state. This trend should be concerning to everyone. In some cases, surviving family members can pursue lost compensation by contacting a California wrongful death attorney.
