Pedestrian Accidents in California

It’s unfortunate that thousands of pedestrians lose their lives every year in California. The leading causes of most pedestrian accidents is distracted and reckless driving. Whenever drivers fail to stop after they’ve struck a pedestrian, it’s usually because they’re in a stolen vehicle, lack auto insurance, have an expired license, have a warrant out for their arrest, or anything else that would make them not want to encounter the police.

Once investigators find the driver responsible, major charges will be pressed. The deceased woman’s family could file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death attorney.
