Pedestrian Accidents in California
California is the leading state in the nation that holds the highest pedestrian fatalities. The reason so many lives are lost in pedestrian accidents is because drivers aren’t paying attention to their surroundings on the road. Most of the time drivers are on their phones, conversing with passengers, eating, falling asleep at the wheel, speeding, or driving under the influence. Once the police get to the bottom of why the driver struck Brinton, a wrongful death lawsuit could be filed to help cover medical expenses, funeral costs, and more.
