About running and potential injuries

A popular form of exercise for people in Los Angeles is to run.  People often run on the streets around their neighborhood before and after work.  A danger to runners is that they may be seriously injured if they are hit by a car. This can happen for many different reasons, but most commonly it is caused from a driver who is distracted or not paying attention.  Additionally, runners are susceptible to serious injuries as they have no protective equipment.  If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident while running, you should seek the assistance of an attorney to recover compensation for injuries, pain & suffering.

Common injuries

Some of the most common injuries suffered by runners who are involved in accidents include spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and brain injuries.  Unfortunately, hit & run accidents are common with running accidents. This often occurs because runners run on the side of the street, and they are unable to adjust or jump out of the way of the approaching vehicle. If the driver was intoxicated at the time of the accident, it is common for the driver to speed away, leaving the runner to lay injured on the street.
