Pedestrian Accidents in California
Studies show that between January 2017 and June 2017, an estimated 352 pedestrian fatalities occurred in California. Unfortunately, the reason so many pedestrians are struck on a daily basis is due to driver’s error. When drivers are being negligent by using their cell phones, speeding, driving under the influence, or even grooming, they’re putting pedestrians at risk of being hit. There are California laws that are designed to protect the lives of pedestrians, one of which requires drivers to yield no matter who has the right of way.
The police are investigating this accident to determine if the driver was speeding, if the roads were hazardous, or if the driver’s vehicle was malfunctioning. Once they conclude their findings, it’s likely that the pedestrian will file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
