The Hit And Run Trend In Los Angeles

THE HIT AND RUN TREND IN LOS ANGELES

1

Los Angeles and surrounding areas have seen an unfair share of pedestrian accident injuries and fatalities resulting from hit and run accidents recently, and a newly released pedestrian accident study ranked California at 16th for states with the highest pedestrian fatalities. The hit and run trend is troubling and details of some of the accidents are particularly tragic.

Reasons That Drivers Flee The Scene

Pedestrian accidents are often tragic because of the serious injuries and fatalities that frequently go along with them. When a driver does not stop, pedestrian accidents are even more painful for victims and their families who are unable to hold anyone accountable and are unable to get closure.

Reasons drivers may flee the scene of an accident include the following:

01

The driver is driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

02

The driver has a suspended license or no license at all.

03

The driver was texting at the time of the accident.

04

The driver does not have insurance.

05

The driver does not want to be punished for reckless conduct.

06

The driver has a warrant out for his or her arrest.

Catching A Driver Who Fled The Scene

In hit and run cases, the drivers are usually caught, eventually. Surveillance cameras are everywhere and these accidents are frequently caught on camera, which helps to identify the vehicle. Police conduct investigations to identify the driver such as locating damaged vehicles in car repair shops.
