Pedestrian Accidents in California

Sadly, during the first six months of 2015, approximately  2,486 pedestrians sustained fatal injuries after being struck by vehicles nationwide. When vehicles hit pedestrians late at night, it’s often due to distracted driving, poorly lit roads, drunk driving, or fatigued driving. After the sun goes down, it’s very important for drivers to pay close attention to their surroundings, even in places that they don’t suspect pedestrians will be. When drivers fail to exercise their legal duty, they put themselves in a position to seriously harm pedestrians.
