Hit and run bicycle accidents

Hit and run bicycle accidents are not as common in the Bay Area as they are in other parts of California, such as Los Angeles. However, they do occur here. While there is never a good reason to leave the scene of an accident, in many cases people leave the scene because they were drinking or had no license. Leaving the scene of an accident where a cyclist is severely injured or killed in California is a felony offense.

Cyclists involved in hit and run accidents should know that they may be able to seek compensation from their own insurer in the event the motorist is never caught, but that the insurer may attempt to minimize or deny their claim.
