Liability In Pedestrian Hit-And-Run Accidents on Olive Ave in Fresno

Fresno can be a very unfriendly place for those traveling the city on foot. Some intersections have crosswalks marked off with very faded lines. These lines can be all but invisible at night.

There are also hazards pedestrians face from distracted drivers. Drivers may be looking at a cell phone or otherwise unfocused and miss someone crossing under a traffic light or miss a light changing from green to red. One lapse in attention can leave a pedestrian suffering from severe injuries and awaiting vital emergency medical care.

Support for Victims After a Fresno Hit-And-Run Pedestrian Accident

A pedestrian accident can have consequences that extend well past one night in an emergency room. Patients may face bills for surgeries and months of physical therapy. The toll that physical pain and emotional trauma will take on the victim must also factor into the support the victim receives.

To help with these hardships, an at-fault driver’s auto insurance provider should be called upon to pay for every expense victims and their families will see. The at-fault driver may face a criminal trial, but that won’t delay civil proceedings to decide how much support a victim should receive.

If a hit-and-run driver is to blame and isn’t identified, it is still possible to earn compensation for the victim. A claim can be filed on the victim’s own car accident insurance or on a family member’s policy that covered the victim. This claim would utilize the policy’s uninsured motorist coverage to provide support so victims can rebuild their lives.
