Pedestrian Accident in California
Unfortunately, in 2017, over 6,000 pedestrians were killed in the United States. The reason why so many pedestrians are losing their lives every year – despite California laws protecting their safety – is due to drivers’ negligence. Negligence includes speeding, driving under the influence, eating, applying makeup, violating traffic laws, programming a GPS, and more. It only takes a few seconds of negligent driving for a serious accident to occur and possibly injure or kill innocent pedestrians.
For families who have lost loved ones in pedestrian accidents, it’s important to seek legal representation from a California wrongful death attorney.

We understand how difficult it is for families to lose loved ones, especially if the accident was caused by negligence. We don’t believe it’s fair for families to take on the financial burdens of medical bills, funeral costs, loss of wages, and more. We work hard to help families receive fair compensation for all damages and losses.
