Fleeing Driver on El Camino Avenue Injures Arden-Arcade Pedestrian

On September 19, an Arden-Arcade pedestrian was injured in a hit-and-run accident. The collision occurred at 8:32 a.m. on El Camino Avenue, between Wight Street and Romany Road. The incident happened in front of Aspire Alexander Twilight College Preparatory Academy. However, it is unknown whether a student or teacher was involved.

Arden-Arcade Pedestrian Accident Being Investigated

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded to the call and confirmed that the accident involved a vehicle striking a pedestrian. However, it remains unclear whether the Arden-Arcade pedestrian received immediate medical treatment at the scene or was transported to a hospital for further care. The CHP traffic unit is thoroughly investigating the accident and is actively working to locate the missing driver responsible for the hit-and-run.

Securing Compensation for Injury Recovery

When you experience a serious Arden-Arcade pedestrian injury due to a negligent driver, you can pursue compensation for your losses. This is vital, as injured pedestrians frequently encounter substantial medical expenses, an inability to work, and endure both physical pain and emotional distress. Engaging an accident lawyer can greatly assist in obtaining the necessary compensation, which encompasses:

  • Recovery of all medical expenses, including ambulance services, hospitalization, surgeries, medications, treatments, and physician visits. If the injury remains unresolved at settlement time, the amount for medical costs may be adjusted accordingly to account for those additional expenses.
  • Compensation for lost wages is essential when an injury prevents work, or the injured person uses sick leave or vacation time. Wages can be recovered as well as any benefits, such as insurance coverage and pensions. In cases of permanent disability, lost income is compensable until retirement age as well as those benefits. Additionally, if reduced capacity necessitates accepting lower-paying employment, the difference in salary is recoverable.
  • Pain and suffering compensation addresses both physical and emotional distress, recognizing the multifaceted trauma experienced after such an accident. If post-traumatic stress disorder occurs, which is common, and the individual seeks professional treatment, the cost can be recovered.
