Pedestrian Accidents in California
Recent studies show that most pedestrian accidents happen when drivers don’t pay attention to their surroundings, which might have been the case for this accident. When drivers are texting, conversing with passengers, driving under the influence, driving fatigued, or partaking in any other distracting activity, they risk putting pedestrians in danger of being seriously injured or killed. There are California laws designed to protect the rights of pedestrians that all drivers are required to abide by no matter who has the right of way.
Once the police finish investigating this accident, they will decide whether the driver will be held fully or partially responsible for this accident. Depending on their findings, there’s a possibility that Quoc Pham and Trang may be able to file personal injury lawsuits with the help of a California personal injury lawsuit.
