		</div>
<p>A 12-year-old girl was severely injured in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Los Angeles car accident</a>, which officials say was caused by a hit-and-run driver, the afternoon of January 27, 2012. According to a report in The Pasadena Star-News, the collision occurred at the intersection of Huntington Avenue and Canyon Boulevard in Monrovia, when the young victim was walking with some other children. A 1995 Infiniti J30 struck the girl and left the scene. The pedestrian was hospitalized in critical condition, but is said to be improving. Police arrested 23-year-old Emma Tapia-Gonzalez a few hours after the incident. She has been charged with felony hit-and-run and driving without a valid license. An investigation is ongoing.</p>
<p><span id="more-3957"></span>My heart goes out to the critically injured victim of this <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/hitnrunreward/" target="_blank">hit-and-run car accident</a>. I wish her the very best for a speedy and complete recovery. Please keep this girl and her family in your thoughts and prayers.</p>
<p><strong>Pedestrian Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol's 2009 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were no fatalities, but 14 injuries reported as a result of Monrovia pedestrian accidents. In Los Angeles County as a whole, 179 people died and 4,918 were injured due to <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/pedestrian_accidents.html" target="_blank">pedestrian accidents</a>, during the same year.</p>
<p><strong>Leaving the Scene of the Crash</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, it appears that the driver hit the young girl and then fled the scene without even stopping to help the child. What kind of a person strikes and injures a child and leaves him or her lying on the roadway without care or medical attention? Appalling! Not only is leaving the scene of an injury accident an inhumane and irresponsible act, but it is also illegal.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/california-vehicle-code.html" target="_blank">California Vehicle Code</a> Section 20001 (a) states: "The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident."</p>
<p><strong>Fault and Liability</strong></p>
<p>I'm relieved to hear that this driver, who was also apparently driving without a license, was apprehended. In such cases, injured victims and their families can claim compensation from the at-fault driver for damages such as medical expenses, cost of hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering. A knowledgeable <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">Los Angeles personal injury lawyer</a> will better advise victims and their families about how their own auto insurance policy applies to an incident where the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured.</p>

<p>A male bicyclist was seriously injured in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/santa-ana-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Santa Ana car accident</a> after being hit by a driver who left the scene of the crash. According to a news report in The Orange County Register, the bicycle accident occurred on South Broadway in Santa Ana, the evening of January 20, 2012. Officials say a pickup truck, possibly a white Toyota Tundra with a ladder rack and blue lettering struck the bicyclist before driving away. The victim suffered head injuries and has been listed in critical condition. Officials are asking for help from anyone who may have witnessed this collision or has information about the suspect and/or the vehicle.</p>
<p><span id="more-3934"></span>My heart goes out to the man injured in this Orange County <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/hitnrunreward/" target="_blank">hit-and-run car accident</a>. I wish him the very best for a complete recovery. Please keep this victim and his family in your thoughts and prayers.</p>
<p><strong>Orange County Bicycle Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol’s 2009 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), two people were killed and 131 were injured in Santa Ana bicycle accidents. During that same year, <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/bicycle-accident.html" target="_blank">bicycle accidents</a> in Orange County claimed 12 lives and injured 1,199 people.</p>
<p><strong> Leaving the Scene of a Crash</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, the pickup truck driver struck and seriously injured the bicyclist, and then, left him lying on the roadway without offering assistance. Appalling! California law requires drivers to remain at the scene of an accident when someone has been injured. California Vehicle Code Section 20001 (a) states: "The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident." Not only is it illegal to leave the scene of an injury crash, but it also shows an unwillingness to take responsibility for one's actions, and above all, a callous disregard for human life.</p>
<p><strong>Holding Drivers Accountable</strong></p>
<p>Officials are searching for the driver and white truck involved in this crash. If you have any information about this accident, please visit our web site at <a href="http://www.hitandrunreward.com" target="_blank">www.hitandrunreward.com</a>.

<p>Victims of hit-and-run accidents would be well advised to speak with an experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/santa-ana-personal-injury-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Santa Ana personal injury lawyer</a>, who will stay abreast of the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected. A skilled car accident attorney will be able to better inform families about how their own auto insurance policy applies to an incident where the suspect is not found, or, in a crash where the at-fault motorist is uninsured or underinsured.</p>

<p>Christopher Barton Tatro, 40, of Corona, was killed in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/riverside-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">Riverside car accident</a>, which police report, involved a hit-and-run driver. According to a news article in The Press-Enterprise, the fatal hit-and-run accident occurred on the 91 Freeway, near Monroe Street, during the early morning hours of December 17, 2011.</p>
<p>Officials say Tatro was operating the controls of the hydraulic lift on a tow truck when a tan sedan, possibly a beige late-1990s Saturn, struck the left side of the tow truck. The driver of the vehicle did not stop, and was last seen exiting the freeway at Adams Street. Tatro suffered massive injuries to his legs and torso and succumbed to his injuries a couple of hours later. The authorities are searching for the car, which they believe sustained damage to its right side, including damage to the right mirror, wheels and headlight. Witnesses with information about the incident or the suspect may contact the California Highway Patrol Inland Division at 909-806-2400.</p>
<p><span id="more-3785"></span>My deepest condolences go out the family, friends and coworkers of Christopher Barton Tatro following this tragic <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/hitnrunreward/" target="_blank">hit-and-run car accident</a>. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.</p>
<p><strong>Riverside Car Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to CHP's 2009 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 28 fatalities and 1,408 injuries occurred due to car accidents in the city of Riverside. During that same year, countywide car accidents claimed 203 lives and injured 7,974 people.</p>
<p><strong>Leaving the Scene of a Crash</strong></p>
<p>If the news account is accurate, the impact from this horrific crash sent the victim flying approximately 60 feet in the air. Instead of stopping to offer help to the critically injured victim, the driver of the tan sedan drove away leaving the victim on the roadway, exposed to further injury. Appalling! Under California Vehicle Code Section 20001 (a) motorists are required to stop immediately at the scene of a crash, wait until authorities arrive, exchange pertinent information with the other parties and most importantly, get help for the injured victims. In this case, the driver chose to do none of the above.</p>
<p><strong>Holding Hit-and-Run Drivers Accountable</strong></p>
<p>If you have information about this driver or the vehicle, please visit our dedicated hit-and-run web site at <a href="http://www.hitandrunreward.com" target="_blank">www.hitandrunreward.com</a> to offer an anonymous tip and also become eligible for a $1,000 reward. I certainly hope authorities are soon able to apprehend this driver and bring him or her to justice.</p>
<p>The family of a hit-and-run accident victim would be well advised to contact a skilled <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/riverside-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">Riverside personal injury lawyer</a>, who will stay on top of the official investigation and ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected. In cases where the hit-and-run driver is never identified or located, a knowledgeable attorney will be able to better advise the victim's family about how they can seek compensation through the uninsured motorist clause of their own auto insurance policy. In a work related accident, an experienced attorney can help a family pursue compensation through workers compensation death benefits.</p>

<p>An 8-year-old boy was struck and critically injured in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Los Angeles car accident</a>, which officials say, involved a hit-and-run driver, the evening of October 19, 2011. According to a City News Service report, the major injury collision occurred on West 104th Street near Western Avenue in the unincorporated Westmont area of Los Angeles County. The boy suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported to an area hospital. Witnesses told officers that the car, which left the scene after striking the child, was a dark-colored Nissan Altima that had sustained damage to its right side. Anyone with information about the collision or the hit-and-run driver is asked to call California Highway Patrol officials at 323-982-4900.</p>
<p><span id="more-3555"></span>My heart goes out to this young <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/hitnrunreward/" target="_blank">hit-and-run car accident</a> victim and his family for what they are going through at this time. I wish him the very best for a quick and full recovery. Please keep this young victim in your thoughts and prayers.</p>
<p><strong>Pedestrian Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to CHP's 2009 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were 29 fatalities and 327 injuries involving pedestrian accidents in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. Also, countywide, <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/pedestrian_accidents.html" target="_blank">pedestrian accidents</a> claimed 179 lives and injured 4,918 people, during the same year.</p>
<p><strong>Leaving the Scene of a Crash</strong></p>
<p>If the details of this news report are accurate, it appears that the driver struck this child and then fled without even stop to help him. What kind of a person hits and critically injures a child and then flees leaving the victim on the roadway exposed to more danger? Unconscionable! Leaving the scene of an injury crash in addition to being an irresponsible and inhumane act is also a felony crime under California law.</p>
<p>California Vehicle Code Section 20001 (a) states: "The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident."</p>
<p><strong>Holding Drivers Accountable</strong></p>

<p><img src="http://www.bestattorney.com/blog-images/Hit%20and%20Run/Crime%20scene%20and%20tape.jpg" border="0" alt="Car Accident in Long Beach" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="275" height="225" align="left" />Two women suffered serious injuries in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/long-beach-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Long Beach car accident</a>, which officials say involved a hit-and-run driver, the night of October 14, 2011. According to a City News Service report, the pedestrian collision occurred on Pacific Coast Highway, near Loma Avenue, when a dark-colored Lexus struck them. One of the women, who was in her 20s, was listed in stable condition with multiple injuries, while the other woman, who was in her 30s, was listed in critical condition. Officials say the driver of the Lexus fled the scene of the crash. The vehicle is said to have sustained windshield damage during the accident. Anyone with information about the suspect or the vehicle is asked to contact Long Beach police at 562-435-6711.</p>
<p><span id="more-3533"></span>My heart goes out to the two injured victims of this <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/hitnrunreward/" target="_blank">hit-and-run car accident</a>. I wish them the very best for a quick and complete recovery. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.</p>
<p><strong>Pedestrian Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol's 2009 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were nine deaths and 211 injuries involving pedestrian accidents in Long Beach. In Los Angeles County as a whole, 179 people died and 4,918 were injured due to <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/pedestrian_accidents.html" target="_blank">pedestrian accidents</a>, during the same year.</p>
<p><strong>Leaving the Scene of a Crash</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, the driver of the Lexus struck the women who were crossing the roadway and left without even stopping to help them. California Vehicle Code Section 20001 (a) requires motorists to stop and remain at the scene of an injury collision regardless of whose fault the collision was. Motorists are also required to exchange pertinent information with other parties involved and most importantly, obtain medical assistance for the injured parties. It could be something as simple as calling 911. However, this driver, chose to flee the scene leaving two women critically injured and lying on a roadway exposed to further danger. Despicable!</p>

According to a news report in The Press-Enterprise, the injury collision occurred the afternoon of October 12, 2011 when Glass' vehicle stalled on the 10 Freeway near North Indian Canyon Drive in Indio. Glass was trying to walk across traffic lanes to get help when a black, late model Volkswagen Jetta hit her.</p>
<p>She was thrown onto the shoulder of the freeway. The female driver apparently stopped and talked to several witnesses and then got in the car and drove away. Officials say the driver was wearing a white tank top and blue pants, was about 25 years old, 5-foot-4 and 110 pounds with shoulder-length brown hair. Glass was transported to a local hospital with major injuries. Anyone with information about the suspect or vehicle is asked to contact California Highway Patrol officials at 760-772-8911.</p>
<p><span id="more-3521"></span>My heart goes out to Beverly Glass and her family for what they are going through at this time. I truly hope her injuries were not life-threatening and wish her the very best for a quick and complete recovery. Please keep this <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/hitnrunreward/" target="_blank">hit-and-run car accident</a> victim and her family in your thoughts and prayers.</p>
<p><strong>Riverside County Pedestrian Accidents</strong></p>
<p>According to CHP's 2009 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were no fatalities, but 10 injuries involving pedestrian accidents in Indio. In Riverside County as a whole, 39 people died and 370 were injured as a result of <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/pedestrian_accidents.html" target="_blank">pedestrian accidents</a>, during the same year.</p>
<p><strong>Leaving the Scene of a Crash<strong></strong></strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, it appears that the female driver initially stopped, but ended up leaving before officials arrived. California law requires motorists involved in injury accidents to stop immediately and wait for authorities to arrive. They are also required to exchange pertinent information (insurance, contact, driver's license) and most importantly, obtain help for the injured victim. This could be as simple as calling 911. But this driver made a decision to do none of the above. Instead, she got in her car and drove away leaving a seriously injured woman lying on the shoulder of the freeway. Appalling!</p>
<p>California Vehicle Code Section 20001 (a) states: "The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident."</p>
<p><strong>Holding Wrongdoers Accountable</strong></p>

<p>A hit-and-run victim and his or her family would be well-advised to contact an experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/riverside-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">Riverside personal injury lawyer</a>, who will stay abreast of the official investigation and ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.

According to a news report in The Press-Enterprise, the hit-and-run car accident occurred on Bear Valley Road, near Cypress Avenue, in Victorville, the afternoon of September 25, 2011. Lively was driving west when a vehicle either turned left in front of him or pulled into his path. He crashed into the passenger side of the car and was critically injured. The vehicle responsible for the collision sped away and no witnesses have stepped forward to give the authorities more information. Officials are searching for a tan or gold Camry or Volvo.</p>
<p>My thoughts and prayers are with Glen Lively following this terrible <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/hitnrunreward/" target="_blank">hit-and-run car accident</a>. I wish him the very best for a complete and speedy recovery.</p>
<p><span id="more-3433"></span><strong>Car Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol’s 2009 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 16 people were killed and 261 were injured in Victorville car accidents. During that same year, there were 223 fatalities and 7,870 injuries reported as a result of <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-bernardino-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">San Bernardino car accidents</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Leaving the Scene of a Crash</strong></p>
<p>Based on this news report, it appears that the driver who struck Lively may have not only made an illegal or unsafe turn, but also left the scene of the crash without stopping or contacting authorities. Not only is leaving the scene of an injury crash an inhumane and irresponsible act, but it is also illegal. California Vehicle Code Section 20001 (a) states: "The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident."</p>
<p>If you have any information about this hit-and-run driver or vehicle, please visit our web site at <a href="http://www.hitandrunreward.com" target="_blank">www.hitandrunreward.com</a> to offer an anonymous tip and become eligible to receive a $1,000 reward. This web site is our initiative to partner with the community and help law enforcement agencies apprehend such drivers and hold them accountable.</p>
<p><strong>Victims' Claim for Compensation</strong></p>
<p>In this particular case, the injured victim would be well-advised to contact an experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-bernardino-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">San Bernardino personal injury lawyer</a>, who will stay abreast of the official investigation and ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected. Injured victims in such cases can seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, cost of hospitalization, rehabilitation, and other related damages. A skilled car accident attorney will also be able to inform victims about how their auto insurance policy applies to an incident where the hit-and-run driver is never found, or in a case where the at-fault motorist is uninsured or underinsured.<br />

<p>Zenobia Beatrice Schurlock, 82, was killed in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Los Angeles car accident</a>, which officials say, involved a hit-and-run driver. According to a City News Service report, the fatal pedestrian accident occurred near 50th Street E south of Avenue M in Palmdale. Schurlock's body was found on the roadway just after midnight on August 23, 2011.</p>
<p>Officials say they do not know of any witnesses to this crash. But, they say the driver who struck Schurlock fled the scene. There is no information about the suspect vehicle either. Anyone who witnessed this <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/hitnrunreward/" target="_blank">hit-and-run car accident</a> or has any information about the suspect or vehicle, is asked to call California Highway Patrol officials at 661-948-8541.</p>
<p><span id="more-3253"></span>My heart goes out to the family and friends of Zenobia Beatrice Schurlock for their tragic and devastating loss. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.</p>
<p><strong>Pedestrian Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to CHP's 2009 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 37 pedestrians were injured in Palmdale pedestrian accidents. During that same year, there were 179 fatalities and 4,918 injuries reported involving Los Angeles County <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/pedestrian_accidents.html" target="_blank">pedestrian accidents</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Leaving the Scene of a Crash</strong></p>
<p>It appears from this report that the accident occurred around midnight and no witnesses have come forward so far. Based on this article, the driver struck and fatally wounded an elderly woman and left her lying on the roadway – possibly to die! This is a heartless act of cruelty. There is no excuse for such lack of common human decency. Hit-and-run is also a serious crime under California law.</p>
<p>California Vehicle Code Section 20001 (a) states: "The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident." If you have any information about this accident, please visit our web site, <a href="http://www.hitandrunreward.com" target="_blank">www.hitandrunreward.com</a>, where you can provide an anonymous tip and become eligible to receive a $1,000 reward. It is our way of encouraging community members to help law enforcement apprehend these hit-and-run drivers and ensure they are held accountable.</p>
<p><strong>Liability Issues</strong></p>
<p>Families of hit-and-run victims would be well advised to seek the counsel of an experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">Los Angeles personal injury lawyer</a>, who will stay abreast of the official investigation and ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected. A skilled car accident lawyer will also inform family members about how their own car insurance policy applies to a hit-and-run collision where the at-fault driver is not identified, or to an incident where the at-fault party is uninsured or underinsured.</p>

<p><img src="http://www.bestattorney.com/blog-images/Bicycle%20Accidents/fallen%20bicycle.jpg" width="200" height="250" alt="Personal injury lawyer in San Bernardino" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" vspace="5">A hit-and-run driver, who struck and injured two bicyclists, one of them identified as Tim Moreno, has been arrested thanks to tips from the community. According to a news report in the Victorville Daily Press, the <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/california-car-accidents.html" target="_blank">car accident</a> occurred on June 11, 2011 near Apple Valley and Symeron roads in Apple Valley. Officials say the driver, 61-year-old Michael Slusser, came too close to the bike lane where the men were biking and struck Moreno in the back of his head with a passenger side mirror. </p>
<p>Moreno fell down and in the process knocked down another rider. Slusser fled the scene. The Victor Valley Bicycle Club had set up a reward fund to help catch the driver. Slusser was arrested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run. Slusser has apparently been arrested in the past for several crimes including domestic violence and vehicle code violations. <span id="more-2973"></span></p>
<p>My thoughts and prayers are with the two bicyclists who were injured in this <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/hitnrunreward/" target="_blank">hit-and-run car accident</a>. I wish them the very best for a speedy and complete recovery.</p>
<p><strong>Bicycle Accident Statistics</strong>  </p>
<p>According to California Highway Patrol's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were no fatalities but five injuries reported as a result of bicycle accidents in Apple Valley. In San Bernardino County as a whole, eight deaths and 274 injuries were reported as a result of bicycle accidents during the same year.</p>
<p><strong>Hit-and-Run Drivers</strong></p>
<p>It is indeed good to know that a suspect was apprehended in this case thanks to members of the community tipping off law enforcement officials. This incident shows yet again the power we have as a community to stop injustice and wrongdoing. Our web site, <a href="http://www.hitandrunreward.com" target="_blank">www.hitandrunreward.com</a> was established with the same intent. This is a web site, which gives community members the opportunity to offer anonymous tips. They also win a $1,000 reward if their tip leads to a felony conviction. Our program is about partnering with the community to rout out hit-and-run drivers and remind people that their actions have consequences.</p>
<p><strong>Protecting Victims' Rights</strong></p>
<p>The injured victims in this case would be well-advised to contact an experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/san-bernardino-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">San Bernardino personal injury lawyer</a>, who will better explain their legal rights and options.

<p>A motorcyclist was injured in a <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-car-accident-lawyer.html" target="_blank">Los Angeles car accident</a> involving a hit-and-run driver. According to a City News Service report, the injury hit-and-run accident occurred in the eastbound lanes of the 10 Freeway near Jefferson Park the night of May 17, 2011. The motorcyclist was thrown into the bushes on the right shoulder of the freeway after being struck by an Acura TL. The victim was hospitalized with unknown injuries. The car driver fled the scene. California Highway Patrol officials are looking for the male hit-and-run driver.</p>
<p>My thoughts and prayers are with the injured victim of this <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/hitnrunreward/" target="_blank">hit-and-run car accident</a>. I wish this person the very best for a speedy and complete recovery.<span id="more-2791"></span></p>
<p><strong>Los Angeles Motorcycle Accident Statistics</strong></p>
<p>According to CHP's 2008 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), 42 people were killed and 1,289 injured in Los Angeles motorcycle accidents. During that same year, there were 114 fatalities and 2,934 injuries were reported due to Los Angeles County <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/motorcycle-accident-lawyers/" target="_blank">motorcycle accidents</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Leaving the Scene of an Accident</strong></p>
<p>California Vehicle Code Section 20001 (a) states: "The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident." Not only is it illegal to leave the scene of an injury crash, but it is also an immoral, irresponsible and inhumane act. To strike an individual, injure him or her and then take off as if nothing happened is an appalling act of cruelty. I trust authorities are soon able to track down and arrest this driver.</p>

<p>It would be in the best interests of injured victims in such cases to seek the counsel of an experienced <a href="http://www.bestattorney.com/los-angeles-personal-injury-lawyers/" target="_blank">Los Angeles personal injury lawyer</a> who will stay abreast of the official investigation and make sure that the negligent parties are held liable.
