Pedestrian Accidents in California

Studies revealed that California is one of the top three states that hold the most pedestrian fatalities and injuries. The reason so many pedestrians are at risk is due to driver’s not driving responsibly on the roads. Most of the time drivers are distracted by their phones, other passengers, alcohol, drugs, food, and more. Some distractions may appear less dangerous than others, but they’re all equally hazardous because they all require drivers to take their eyes off of the road, even if only for a second. To prevent this issue, the government has created specific laws to protect the rights of pedestrians.

Fortunately, this pedestrian didn’t lose their life in this accident. Once the police find and arrest the driver responsible, the injured victim could file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
