🚨 Can You Be Charged With Hit & Run in California Even If the Accident Wasn’t Your Fault? 🚗⚖️
Yes. In California, you can still be charged with hit and run even if you did not cause the accident.
The law requires drivers involved in an accident to:
✅ Stop at the scene
✅ Exchange information
✅ Check for injuries
✅ Contact law enforcement if necessary
Leaving the scene without doing these things could lead to criminal charges — regardless of who caused the crash.
💡 Even a minor accident in a parking lot can lead to serious consequences if you drive away.
If you’re ever involved in an accident:
📍 Stay calm
📍 Stay at the scene
📍 Document everything
📍 Speak with an attorney before giving statements

🚗 Duty to Exchange Information After a Car Accident in California
If you’re involved in a car accident in California, the law requires drivers to stop and exchange certain information — even for minor crashes. Failing to do so could lead to serious legal consequences, including hit-and-run charges.
✅ You must provide:
• Your name and address
• Driver’s license information
• Vehicle registration
• Insurance information (upon request)
✅ You should also:
• Check for injuries
• Call police if anyone is hurt
• Take photos of the scene
• Get witness contact information
🚫 Leaving the scene without exchanging information can result in criminal charges — even if the accident wasn’t your fault.
If you’ve been injured in an accident and have questions about your rights, Lombardo Law Firm is here to help.

If your car is in the shop after a crash, you may be entitled to a rental — but how you get it depends on the situation:
________________________________________
🔹 Option 1: At-Fault Driver’s Insurance
If the other driver caused the accident, their insurance should cover your rental.
✅ No out-of-pocket cost
⏳ May take time (they must accept fault first)
⚠️ Delays can happen if liability is disputed
________________________________________
🔹 Option 2: Your Own Insurance (Rental Coverage)
If you have rental reimbursement coverage, your policy can pay for a rental right away.
⚡ Faster access to a vehicle
💳 Daily limits may apply (ex: $30–$50/day)
🧾 You may need to front costs if you don’t have coverage
________________________________________
💡 Pro Tip:
Even if you use your own coverage, your insurance may seek reimbursement from the at-fault driver’s insurance later.
________________________________________
🚨 Don’t get stuck without a car. Know your options.

Claremont Fire Department responded to this fire SO FAST! Filmed by our managing attorney just as she was leaving the office tonight. Thank you to Claremont Police Department for guiding traffic as well! By the looks of it, the car was evacuated before the flames spread out of control. Stay safe out there folks.

After a crash, one of the first questions is: Who pays to fix my car? You typically have two options:
________________________________________
🔹 Option 1: Go Through the Other Driver’s Insurance (3rd Party Claim)
If the other driver is at fault, you can file a claim with their insurance.
✅ No deductible
✅ You shouldn’t pay out of pocket
⏳ Can take longer (they must accept liability first)
⚠️ Risk of delays or disputes
________________________________________
🔹 Option 2: Use Your Own Insurance (1st Party Claim)
You can use your own collision coverage to get repairs started right away.
⚡ Faster repairs
🧾 You pay your deductible upfront
💰 Your insurance may get reimbursed later (including your deductible) if the other driver is found at fault
________________________________________
💡 So which is better?
If you need your car fixed quickly, using your own policy is often faster. If liability is clear and accepted, going through the other driver’s insurance may save you the deductible.
