Pedestrian Accidents in California

Around 60,000 pedestrians are injured in pedestrian accidents every year. Most of the time negligence is responsible for causing the accidents. California personal injury law protects injured victims that are suffering because of someone else’s negligent behavior. It’s important for injured pedestrians to file personal injury lawsuits as soon as possible to ensure they receive a higher compensation for medical expenses and more. Some injuries require extensive amounts of treatment that could cost thousands of dollars. It’s unfair for an injured person to pay out-of-pocket for damages caused by someone else’s recklessness.
