Pedestrian Accidents in California
Unfortunately, numerous pedestrians are hit every day in California and the numbers continue to increase. The reason so many pedestrians are either being seriously injured or killed is due to negligent driving. When drivers aren’t fully focused on the road due to cell phone usage, alcohol consumption, fatigue, and more, they put pedestrians at high risk of being hurt. Even if a pedestrian doesn’t have the right of way, as was the case in this accident, all vehicles are still required to yield or come to a complete stop.
Once the police finish investigating this accident, it’s possible that the injured victim may qualify to file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
