Hit and run crashes

Fighting for those injured in a hit-and-run collision

An accident in a car can be frustrating under any circumstances. In most cases, you can expect to exchange information with the other driver. When the accident is due to a hit and run driver, you're left on your own.

Hit-and-run accidents in California are serious legal matters. It's against the law to leave the scene of an accident. Depending on the severity of the accident, a driver who flees can face serious consequences. For example, if a wrongful death occurs as a result of the hit-and-run collision, the driver could face a lengthy jail sentence.

While you may feel frustrated by a hit-and-run accident, you don't have to deal with the insurance company alone. You have options. A hit-and-run accident attorney at the Law Offices of Mickey Fine in Manhattan Beach can help you pursue the justice you deserve. In some cases, your own insurance may pay for the damages associated with the accident. We can look at your insurance coverage and the circumstances of your accident and find the best course of action.
