PEDESTRIAN CRITICALLY INJURED IN HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT IN LOS ANGELES

1. PEDESTRIAN CRITICALLY INJURED IN HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT IN LOS ANGELES When two vehicles collide, the individuals inside each vehicle are at risk of suffering serious injuries, but still have a layer of protection to help mitigate the bodily harm (e.g., seatbelts, airbags, etc.). When a pedestrian and a vehicle collide, the pedestrian is not so fortunate and is forced to endure the tremendous impact and bodily damage associated with being hit by a 2,000 pound, or heavier, motor vehicle. An example of the severe harms and losses that can stem from a pedestrian getting hit by a motorist occurred on November 21, 2019 in the vicinity of Olympic Boulevard and Lake Street in Los Angeles. A 34-year-old man was reportedly pushing a cart across the street when he was hit by a Tesla Model 3. If that was not bad enough, the motorist opted to flee the scene of the accident. This means the motorist did not even stop to try and determine if the pedestrian was alive and did not attempt to render aid, according to CBS 9 News. The injured pedestrian was transported to a local hospital in critical condition. Police discovered that the Tesla involved in the collision was subsequently left two blocks from the collision. LEGAL OPTIONS WHEN A PEDESTRIAN IS HIT AND INJURED BY A CARELESS OR RECKLESS MOTORIST When a pedestrian is seriously injured as a proximate result of the negligent or reckless actions of a motorist, the injured pedestrian may be entitled to pursue financial restitution for their harms and losses. This is especially true when the motorist decides to flee the scene of the accident, which is a felony criminal offense in California.
