Hit and run accidents are surging across Los Angeles County, and it’s not just happening to drivers on the road. From parked cars struck in the middle of the night to pedestrians and cyclists left injured, the numbers show a disturbing trend that affects everyone who shares the streets of Los Angeles.
A Sharp Increase Across Los Angeles
According to Crosstown LA, a data-driven news outlet from the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, hit and run collisions in Los Angeles have increased by more than 18% since 2022, with thousands of incidents reported every month.
Crosstown LA collects and analyzes data directly from LAPD and city traffic databases, making it one of the most trusted and credible local sources for real-time safety and crime statistics.
This rise highlights a growing public safety issue. Whether caused by distracted driving, speeding, or uninsured motorists, these incidents often leave victims with significant damage, injuries, and unanswered questions about who will pay for their losses.
You Still Have Rights Even If the Driver Flees
One of the biggest misconceptions about hit and run accidents is that victims have no recourse if the at-fault driver isn’t identified. That’s not true.
If you were hit, whether while driving, walking, or your car was parked, you may still be eligible for compensationthrough:
Uninsured Motorist (UM) Claims under your own auto policy
Medical Coverage for injuries sustained in the collision
Property Damage Claims for vehicle repairs or total loss
Pain and Suffering Compensation, depending on your case
An experienced attorney can help identify all available coverage options and handle communications with the insurance companies to ensure your rights are fully protected.
