Pedestrian Accidents in California
Sadly, hundreds of children are killed in pedestrian accidents every year in California. Because their bodies are so small and not fully developed, it’s easier for them to suffer from severe injuries. The most common injuries children face are head injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries. Depending on how impactful the accident was, some children could be permanently injured for the rest of their lives while others heal within a few months.
It’s important for the injured children’s parents to reach out to California personal injury attorneys for help.
