When Pedestrian Accidents Happen in California
Distracted drivers frequently cause pedestrian accidents. In the state of California, drivers are required to yield to pedestrians no matter the situation. However, all too often, drivers get used to watching for other vehicles only. Neglecting to keep an eye out for pedestrians leads to pedestrian accidents and death. Negligent driving activities such as looking at a cell phone or using substances such as drugs or alcohol facilitate even more dangerous situations for drivers and pedestrians alike.
