In People v. Taylor, the California Court of Appeal for the Third Appellate District decided a unique case involving a claim for victim restitution under Penal Code Section 1202.4(f)(3)(H). The case was unique in that the restitution claim also included a contingent attorney fee component. The trial court approved the restitution claim, including the fee component.

On July 29, 2007, the defendant improperly crossed a double yellow line while driving his vehicle. He caused a head on collision with another vehicle and immediately fled the scene. The victim suffered serious personal injuries and property damage. After he was apprehended, the defendant pled nolo contendere to hit and run driving causing injury. The trial court sentenced him to six years in prison.
