Pedestrian Accidents in California
Even though there are some pedestrian accidents that are caused by pedestrians, most of the time these accidents occur due to driver’s error. When drivers are distracted on the road, they fail to see pedestrians until it’s too late. To prevent this from happening, California laws require drivers to yield as they approach pedestrians, even if the pedestrian is in an unauthorized area.
The police are currently investigating to figure out why Hardin didn’t see Zurita until it was too late. They’re checking to see if the roads were poorly lit since it was still dark when the accident occurred. They’re also checking the condition of his vehicle for any mechanical issues. Once they’re finished with their investigation, they’ll determine whether Hardin will be held fully or partially liable. Zurita could then hire a California personal injury attorney to help her file a personal injury lawsuit.
