If you’ve been injured in an accident where the at-fault driver fled the scene, it’s time to contact a Campbell hit and run lawyer. At Caputo and Van Der Walde, we understand the frustration and injustice that comes with these reckless incidents. Our legal team is committed to helping victims hold hit-and-run drivers accountable.
With busy city streets, frequented highways and freeways, and a fast pace of living, car accidents are all too common in California. Unfortunately, many of these collisions are detrimental and, in the worst cases, fatal.
When a person or their property is harmed by negligent, careless, or reckless drivers, victims and their families have a right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party. Sadly, in some cases, a liable driver will flee the scene of the accident to avoid responsibility, leaving victims unable to pursue maximum compensation. At Caputo and Van Der Walde – Injury & Accident Attorneys, we work diligently to defend the rights of accident victims.
If you or someone you love has suffered injuries in a serious accident, get in contact with our Campbell hit-and-run accident lawyers today. We can fight for your rights!
Although drivers are expected to accept liability for their actions in the event of an accident, numerous hit and run accidents occur every year. Hit and run accidents are against the law according to California Penal Code, which states, “The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to any person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of any person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident.”
Individuals who do not obey this law can face the following consequences:
Drivers involved in accidents are also required to stop even if the accident does not result in an injury or wrongful death.
