Pedestrian Accidents in California

Unfortunately, the number of pedestrian fatalities continues to rise every year in California. Most of the time pedestrians are hit by distracted drivers. All drivers should be aware of the damage they’re capable of causing when they decide to use their phones or partake in any other seemingly harmless activity while they drive. The police are still investigating this accident to determine if the driver was distracted when she hit the pedestrian. Once they conclude their findings, it’s possible that the deceased man’s family could file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death attorney.
