Pedestrian Accidents in California

Recent studies show that more than 72 percent of pedestrian accidents happen at night between the hours of six and midnight. Studies also show that nearly half of drivers who strike pedestrians are under the influence during those hours. In this case, the police do not believe drugs or alcohol were contributing factors for this accident. As of now, they’re investigating to find out who had the right of way, which will help them determine whether the driver will be held fully or partially liable. Once they finalize their reports, the deceased man’s family may be able to hire a California wrongful death attorney to help them file a wrongful death lawsuit.
