Pedestrian Accidents in California
Studies show that the majority of pedestrian accidents occurs in the most populated states in the country, which includes California. Although drivers are required to yield for pedestrians no matter what, pedestrians are still getting injured or killed on a daily basis. The leading cause is usually drivers not paying attention to their surroundings, but there are some instances where pedestrians contribute to accidents as well.
The police are currently investigating why the driver failed to yield for the teenager. Once they determine if the driver responsible will be held fully or partially liable, a personal injury lawsuit could be filed with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
