After a hit-and-run, you deserve answers.

What Is a Hit-and-Run Accident?

A hit-and-run accident happens when a driver crashes into another vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist—and leaves the scene without providing their contact or insurance information. In California, this is illegal, even if the other party wasn’t seriously injured.

Some common hit-and-run scenarios include:

  • A driver hits a car and takes off without leaving a note
  • A pedestrian is struck in a crosswalk and the driver speeds away
  • A cyclist is sideswiped and the vehicle doesn’t stop
  • A driver causes a multi-car pileup and flees the scene

Under California law, leaving the scene of an accident—especially when someone is injured—is a crime. But even if the driver isn’t found right away, you still have options.

At Cha Cha Cha Law, we help clients pursue justice even when the road ahead looks uncertain.

We Handle Complex Hit-and-Run Claims

Hit-and-run cases can be more complicated than typical car accidents. You may not know who hit you, and you might think that means you can’t get compensation. But that’s not always true.

In many cases, we can help clients file uninsured motorist (UM) claims through their own car insurance policies—even if the other driver is never identified. We also work with investigators, accident reconstructionists, and surveillance footage to track down the person responsible when possible.

These cases require swift action, attention to detail, and an advocate who knows how to navigate California’s insurance and personal injury laws. That’s where we come in.

We handle hit-and-run accidents involving:

  • Government or city vehicles
  • Drunk or reckless drivers

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a hit-and-run crash?

Call 911 to report the accident and get medical help. If possible, write down any details about the vehicle that hit you (make, model, license plate, color). Look around for cameras or witnesses and report the incident to your insurance company.

Can I recover compensation if the other driver isn’t found?

Yes. You may be able to file a claim under your own uninsured motorist coverage. This can pay for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, even if the at-fault driver disappears.

How long do I have to file a claim in California?

Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in California. For insurance claims, deadlines may be shorter. It’s best to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.

How much does it cost to hire Cha Cha Cha Law?

We work on contingency. That means you don’t pay anything unless we recover money for you.

What if I was partially at fault?

California is a comparative fault state, so you can still recover damages even if you were partly at fault. Your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of responsibility.
