Pedestrian Accidents in California
California holds the record for being the state with the highest number of pedestrian fatalities. Unfortunately, the number continues to increase every year as more drivers continue to text, drive under the influence, speed, and partake in numerous other distracting activities.
Because two vehicles were involved in this accident, pinpointing liability may be difficult. The police have to investigate speed, weather conditions, road conditions, the state of mind of each driver, who had the right of way, and whether drugs and alcohol contributed to the accident. Once they conclude their report, the deceased victim’s family may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit and the injured driver may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.
