Tragically, the segments of our population that remain at
the highest risk of being victimized in pedestrian accidents are elderly people
and children. Elderly pedestrians are
more susceptible to pedestrian accidents because they may require some
additional time to cross the street. Motorists
must operate their vehicles cautiously and in accordance with all applicable
traffic laws in order to ensure the safety of all pedestrians. A motorist who negligently operates his
vehicle can be held liable for all injuries and damages that resulted from his
negligence.
The driver who struck the pedestrian fled the scene after
the accident. Witnesses that were nearby
reported to San Ramon Police Department investigators that they observed a late
model silver Nissan Altima leaving the scene heading southbound on Village
Parkway towards Dublin. San Ramon Police
Department investigators have requested that anyone with information regarding
this tragic accident comes forward. Hit-and–run pedestrian accidents are disturbingly common in California. When the hit-and-run driver is unidentified, claims on behalf of the victims can be challenging to prosecute.
