Pedestrian Accidents in California

Recent studies show that 14 percent of all traffic fatalities are pedestrian fatalities. The reason so many pedestrians lose their lives is due to negligent driving, which includes speeding, driving under the influence, driving fatigued, texting, conversing with passengers, and more. It only takes a few moments of a driver not paying attention to the road for a pedestrian to lose their life.

The police are currently working to figure out who had the right of way and if the driver will be held fully or partially at fault. Once they conclude their reports, the deceased pedestrian’s family could file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death attorney.
