Pasadena Hit and Run Accident Lawyer

Involved in a hit and run? We are here to help.

In our state, there are two types of hit and run violations. One is a misdemeanor, the other a felony. All hit and run cases have to do with someone leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in damage to another's property without stopping to identify themselves to others involved

Felony hit and run differ from a misdemeanor in that it results in injury to an individual. Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, drunk driving incidents and many others can fall under the classification of a hit and run. The results can be devastating to an individual and their family which is where a Pasadena personal injury attorney may be of great assistance.

Who protects hit and run victims?

Once the hit and run offender is apprehended, law enforcement commonly does a good job of criminal prosecution. This may do nothing, however, to assist the victim of a hit and run.

Commonly, victims suffer medical conditions such as:

• Brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries

Injuries that are catastrophic in nature will require extensive medical treatment and changes in lifestyle. Many times, a victim of a hit and run will be out of work on a temporary or permanent basis. The question becomes who will take care of the victim and their families?
