into your car. Just as you’re getting ready to pull back out on the roadway, the reverse lights on the car in front of you flip on. You honk, trying to get their attention, but it doesn’t help. They hit you. You know you’ve suffered some slight whiplash, but you feel fine otherwise. You take a deep breath and ready yourself to get out of the car and exchange information when that driver who backed into you suddenly speeds off. WHAT DO YOU DO NOW? ARE YOU COMPLETELY OUT OF LUCK? According to California law, drivers involved in auto accidents must stop and exchange information with the other parties involved. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. It’s not uncommon for drivers in California to flee the scene of an accident in order to avoid being held responsible for someone else’s injury. When a driver speeds away after causing an accident without giving the other party their identity, they have participated in a hit-and-run. If you’ve been the victim of a hit-and-run accident, you can still be compensated for your injuries. It’s possible to investigate the case and determine who was involved, even if they left the scene of the accident. That said, you can’t do this on your own. You need professional assistance from both law enforcement and qualified attorneys in order to learn the identity of another driver. The aftermath of a hit-and-run accident is often a difficult time. You may be forced to pay expensive medical bills while dealing with the physical and emotional toll of recovering from an injury. Hiring a personal injury lawyer to help you pursue compensation makes the experience easier. If you’ve been involved in this type of accident, get in touch with our team at the Jorgensen Law today. If we decide to represent you, we’ll make sure we take all the necessary steps to secure the compensation for damages you deserve.
