California Motorcycle Hit and Run Attorneys
Motorcycle accidents are no joke. And when a party in a California motorcycle-vehicle crash leaves the scene of the accident without addressing the situation at hand, they're not just adding insult to injury - they're both breaking the law and putting you in a difficult situation. The driver may be scared, angry, or believe that the accident is "no big deal." Nonetheless, they are obligated to face the consequences for accidents in which they have a part - and remain on the scene until authorities arrive.
If you're in a position to see, record or remember the license plate number or description of the involved vehicle, document it as soon as possible after the hit and run. Call 911 immediately, then get as much information as you can from witnesses who saw the accident. You may also wish to document the scene of the accident with a digital or portable camera you carry with you. If you have to be taken to the emergency room (as so often happens with motorcycle accidents), you may need to rely on the memory of a witness or passenger for the information you need. However, the proper authorities should be contacted as soon as possible to report the hit and run.
Once you've received proper treatment for your injuries, it's time to look for an aggressive and experienced Northern California motorcycle hit and run lawyer. Your attorney can help hold the driver at fault accountable for his or her actions and the hit and run itself. By tracking down the perpetrator and forcing them to stand before a court of law, you won't just seek compensation and justice for your own injuries - you'll be helping future drivers who might be placed in unsafe situations by irresponsible hit and run perpetrators.
With the long-term consequences of a motorcycle accident ranging from property damage and short-term injury to more serious conditions such as broken bones, comas, brain injuries, paralysis, disability, inability to work, and piles of medical bills, there's no reason not to pursue the driver responsible for your hit and run accident.
