Milpitas Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians almost always have the right-of-way on the road. Drivers are must scan the road and take care so that they avoid hitting pedestrians.

California Vehicle Code 21950 states, “The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.”

Because of decreased visibility, most pedestrian accidents in California take place between 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

If a driver is negligent and hits a pedestrian walking in a crosswalk, they can face civil liability. As well, a city can face civil liability for an accident caused by dangerous conditions in the intersection. An intersection is considered unsafe if it doesn’t contain basic safety mechanisms to keep pedestrians safe, such as stop signs. The family of a pedestrian who dies in a car accident may be able to recover damages through a wrongful death claim.
