Defense of Hit and Run Cases Causing Death

Learn How We Can Defend You Against Felony Hit and Run Cases Causing Death Under California Vehicle Code 20001 VC. Los Angeles County is a mecca for accidents and hit-and-run cases, and unfortunately, many people die on the freeways and at traffic lights. Too many people.  Too many cars.  A huge metropolis.

So, if you or a loved one has the unfortunate situation of being involved in a severe hit-and-run accident where a death occurs, it's crucial to seek legal counsel immediately. This proactive step can significantly impact the outcome of your case.

I've handled these cases for nearly 30 years with great success. When I say success, sometimes they can't prove that my client was involved in a hit-and-run accident.

Sometimes, they can prove it, but they can't prove that my client was at fault.  In other words, it caused death in the case, which is a good defense in this hit and run, causing deadly accidents.

Yet, other issues and mitigating factors surround the incident that led to the death in different circumstances. Those have to be investigated and brought out by the defense.

Unfortunately, the police and prosecutors are not the best at dealing with issues that help the defense.  They're more zeroed in on trying to prove a criminal case against a particular defendant.

That's why we often have to use tools in these hit-and-run cases where deaths occur that help the defendant — you, the client.

FOR EXAMPLE, when I talk about tools, we're talking about an accident reconstruction expert who accident reconstruction expert that can show what happened in the accident. Sometimes, in these big hit-and-run cases, the police:

  • who are not always the best at investigating and looking at everything,
  • come up with a conclusion or a theory as to how an accident happened and
  • it's totally against the defendant.

Meanwhile, you're the defendant in the case, and you're like, wait a minute.  It didn't happen that way.  I wasn't going that speed.  I didn't do that.
