Pedestrian Accidents in California
Pedestrians can be struck by cars, bikes, or even a wandering dog. Because they lack protection between them an the ground, even minor accidents can offer up serious injuries. With California personal injury laws, any pedestrian who was injured in an accident can file a lawsuit against those who struck them. Typical compensation is for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Drivers owe a duty of care to any pedestrian, other drivers and cyclists on the road. Driver negligence is demonstrated by traffic violations, distracted driving, or other negligence. If you were injured because of another person’s carelessness, you have the right to file a personal injury claim.
