Pedestrian Accidents in San Francisco

Studies show that at least two pedestrians are hit daily in San Francisco. Unfortunately, due to the busyness of the city, many people are in a rush to get to their destinations. However, there are specific California laws that require drivers to yield to pedestrians no matter who has the right of way. Unfortunately, when drivers are speeding or distracted by their phones, they’re unable to yield or brake for pedestrians in time before accidentally striking them.

The police are currently investigating what caused the driver to strike a man who was walking within a marked cross walk. Once they determine whether the driver will be held fully liable or not, the injured victim may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
