Pedestrian Accidents in California

In 2009, nearly 4,000 pedestrians lost their lives in California, some of whom were children. Most pedestrian accidents occur when drivers are unaware of their surroundings because they’re distracted by other things, such as their cell phones, other passengers, food, makeup, and more. Because children are way smaller than adults, they’re easier to accidentally hit if drivers are not careful. Their fragile bodies are more susceptible to sustaining serious injuries that could affect them for a lifetime.
