Reporting source: 2 pedestrians seriously injured in hit-and-run near UC Berkeley.
Questions for an individual claim
Two pedestrians may be struck at slightly different positions or times. A reconstruction should preserve those distinctions while examining the same approaching vehicle. Original video can help identify the driver and crossing sequence; each person's medical prognosis and losses require separate supporting records.
Records to organize
- The collision report, witness contact information and original scene photographs.
- Available dashcam or nearby surveillance recordings, with timestamps preserved.
- Vehicle photographs and inspection records relevant to the reported collision.
Preparing for a consultation
Keep a dated account of the collision and preserve the original files rather than editing the only copy of a recording. Organize treatment records, bills, work absences and insurance correspondence. A news report may identify leads, but the underlying records are needed to evaluate an individual claim. The reported severity of another person’s injuries does not establish the value or outcome of your case.
The questions above are topics for investigation, not findings of fault. This article does not indicate that Weiss Attorneys represents anyone involved in the reported matter.
