The woman sustained serious head injuries and was hospitalized for five days. The woman was crossing the street at Cotner Avenue and the San Diego freeway on ramp, when a vehicle traveling westbound on Santa Monica struck the woman and fled the scene. The incident occurred on February 18 around 6pm. Police have turned to the public for help as the only information they have is the vehicle may have been the color gold.
Lederer, Nojima, Tagliaferro & LoPresti, LLP have handled various auto v. pedestrian cases. It is unfortunate when a motorist flees the scene because this criminal action is unnecessary as most of these types of accidents can often be compensated monetarily through the insurance. Motorists have a greater responsibility when on the road and must always give right of way to a pedestrian regardless of whether on a crosswalk. Our firm has been able to obtain a large monetary settlement amounts for our clients who were seriously injured even when a police report identifies the pedestrian partially at fault because there are many other factors to consider. Please contact our office for a free consultation regarding any personal injury incident that has occurred to you or someone you know.
