Pedestrian Accidents in California

Whenever pedestrians are struck by vehicles and are interested in filing personal injury lawsuits, it’s essential that they seek legal representation immediately following an accident. If too much time passes before a claim is filed, the injured victim may no longer be eligible to receive compensation for damages and losses.

The police are investigating this accident to determine what made the driver strike the pedestrian. Even though the man was walking outside of the marked crosswalk, all drivers are required to yield to pedestrians no matter who has the right of way. Once the police decide whether the driver will be held fully or partially liable, the injured victim may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
