Pedestrian Accidents in California

California law requires all drivers to yield as they approach pedestrians. This law applies even if the pedestrian doesn’t have the right of way. When drivers fail to comply by this law, pedestrians often end up suffering from some type of injury. The most common injuries are traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, internal damage, spinal chord injuries, and neck injuries. All of these injuries can be minor, severe, catastrophic, or fatal. If a patient needs extensive care, medical bills could cost thousands of dollars. It’s important for all injured victims to seek legal representation from a California personal injury attorney to help them with their personal injury lawsuits.
