Hit and Run Compensation: How Much Do Accident Victims Get in California?
https://rtmlawfirm.com/hit-and-run-compensation-how-much-do-victims-get-in-california/
A hit and run occurs when drivers flee the scene of an auto accident without identifying themselves to the other party or parties involved. This is despite knowing that they have caused damage, injury, or death.
Abandoning the scene of the accident you caused is illegal under California Vehicle Code 20002 and 20001, which require drivers involved in accidents to stop, provide their contact information, note license plates, and offer assistance if needed. Failing to comply with these regulations can result in misdemeanor or felony charges.
In the context of personal injury, a hit-and-run can be devastating for victims. Not only are they not at fault in the accident, they have to deal with the resulting physical and emotional trauma. Victims also face financial burden from medical bills, lost wages, and property damage.
Average Settlement Amounts for a California Hit and Run Victim
Compensation in hit-and-run cases aims to cover:
Medical Expenses: Immediate and long-term medical treatment costs.
Lost Wages: Income lost due to inability to work following the accident.
Property Damage: Costs to repair or replace damaged property, including vehicles.
Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages for physical pain and emotional distress.
Punitive Damages: To punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior.
Generally, minor cases with less severe injuries might see compensation from $15,000 to $25,000, whereas severe injuries that disrupt one’s life and work can secure settlements that climb well into six figures or more.
The amount of hit and run compensation varies widely. Settlements depend heavily on the specifics of each case, such as the severity of the injuries and the clarity of the fault.
