Pedestrian Accidents in California
Studies show that more and more pedestrians are struck every year by vehicles. The increase in injuries is largely due to drivers being distracted on the road. Drivers who hit pedestrians due to driving irresponsibly can be held liable for the entire accident, especially since California has several right of way laws pertaining to pedestrians. One of those laws state that when drivers approach a marked or unmarked crosswalk, they must yield to pedestrians at all times.
The police are currently investigating this accident to determine the driver’s speed, mechanical conditions, and road conditions. Once the police finalize their report, the woman could file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
