Pedestrian Accidents in California

Unfortunately, thousands of pedestrians lose their lives every year in California, and the number continues to increase every day. The main factor involved in all pedestrian accidents is distracted driving. Drivers are constantly using their cell phones, rushing to their destinations, conversing with passengers, driving impaired, and driving fatigued, which means they’re not fully focused on the road. Driving under these circumstances puts pedestrians at extreme risk, especially since drivers are required to look out for pedestrians at all times.

The police are currently investigating this accident to determine what led up to the crash and if the driver will be held fully or partially liable. Depending on their findings, the deceased woman’s family may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death attorney.
