Duarte, CA – Woman Dies in Fatal Pedestrian Accident

Duarte, CA (December 20, 2018) On the 20^th of December, a fatal pedestrian accident happened on Las Lomas Road at approximately 5:24 p.m. According to the reports, a vehicle struck a 75-year-old pedestrian named Ruth Coe at Calle Martos, near the Rancho Duarte Golf Course. When the paramedics arrived at the scene to help, Coe had already suffered fatal injuries. It’s unclear if the driver remained at the scene or proceeded to drive off. The accident is currently being investigated.

We send our condolences to Coe’s family as we know it’s never easy to lose a loved one in a pedestrian accident, especially if the accident could have been avoided.

Pedestrian Accidents in California

Pedestrian fatality rates continue to rise in California and the number one reason is because of driver’s error. Whenever drivers fail to yield for pedestrians due to high cell phone usage, fatigue, speed, or alcohol consumption, pedestrians are at risk of being seriously injured or killed. Despite California laws requiring drivers to yield for pedestrians no matter who has the right of way, drivers continue to strike pedestrians every day.

The police are currently investigating what led up to this accident and if the driver will be held fully responsible. They’re checking to see if there were any hazardous road conditions or if speed was a factor. They’re also checking who had the right of way and if negligence contributed to the accident. Once they conclude their findings, Coe’s family may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death attorney.

I highly recommend Mr. Steven Brady and his firm, The Brady Law Group. Although my case was small, Mr. Brady was attentive, his staff returned all my phone calls and kept me up to date on everything. The person who was at fault in my car accident was underinsured, Mr. Brady was able to win a small but very much appreciated settlement for me. Without Mr. Brady and his staff, I would have been out several thousand dollars! Give him a call!

Mr. Brady is the BEST lawyer in Northern California. I couldn't be happier with the result he was able to present to my family. He went above and beyond the call of duty of being our lawyer. He took and presented our case to the judges of San Francisco, like he was representing a family member. Thanks a million Steve.. If I ever need a lawyer, he'll be the first one I contact.

I wasn't sure if I had a personal injury case on my hands or a workers comp case. Steve called me back promptly after I left my message. He took the time to listen to my situation. He explained to me that I had a workers comp case and referred me to another attorney he trusted. It was very evident that he knew how horrible a traumatic brain injury could be. He was very informative and compassionate. If you have a personal injury case, call him.
