Pedestrians and Liability in California

America’s streets are home to cars, trucks, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians. Everyone has the responsibility to transport themselves legally and risk-free, but of course, those who are more protected have a larger obligation to stay safe behind the wheel. In other words, if you are driving a car you need to watch out for pedestrians that may cross your path.

When a negligent driver hits a pedestrian, the injuries that pedestrian sustains are usually quite severe. Pedestrians who are hit often suffer injuries like broken bones, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and even amputations. That’s why you should retain the services of an injury lawyer. An attorney can help you garner justice and compensation – especially if you were hit while legally walking on or adjacent to a roadway.
