Two People Killed in Oakland Hit-and-Run Involving Stolen Car from Daly City

On September 24, 2023, two people were killed and one person was injured in a hit-and-run accident in Oakland, California. The driver of the car that caused the accident fled the scene but was later caught.

The victims of this accident have the right to sue the driver for damages. This includes compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.

Rights of Victims of Hit-and-Run Accidents

Victims of hit-and-run accidents have the same rights as victims of any other car accident. However, there are some additional challenges that hit-and-run victims may face. For example, it may be more difficult to identify the driver who caused the accident and to file a claim against them.

Despite these challenges, hit-and-run victims have important rights that they should be aware of. If you have been injured in a hit-and-run accident, you should contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal options.

Here are some of the specific rights that victims of hit-and-run accidents have:

• The right to file a claim against the driver who caused the accident, even if the driver is unknown.
• The right to file a claim with their own insurance company if they have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
• The right to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and punitive damages.
• The right to file a lawsuit against the driver who caused the accident, even if the driver is unknown.

How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help

A personal injury lawyer can help hit-and-run victims in a number of ways, including:

• Investigating the accident to try to identify the driver who caused it.
• Filing a claim with the driver’s insurance company or with the victim’s own insurance company.
• Negotiating a settlement on the victim’s behalf.
• Representing the victim in court if necessary.

If you have been injured in a hit-and-run accident, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. A lawyer can help you protect your rights and get the compensation you deserve.
