What the Law Says

California Vehicle Code section 20001 requires a driver involved in a crash that injures or kills someone to stop immediately at the scene and give identifying information and reasonable help. Leaving the scene of a crash with injury or death can be a felony. Hit-and-run liability is separate from any civil claim for the harm caused.

California Code of Civil Procedure section 377.60 lets certain family members, and others who depended on the person who died, bring a wrongful death claim when a death is caused by another person’s wrongful act or neglect. Strict filing deadlines apply, so families should seek guidance early.

This summary is general information, not legal advice. Every case depends on its specific facts.
