Vehicle Accidents in California

Unfortunately, pedestrians lose their lives every day in vehicle accidents in California. The leading cause of most accidents is negligent driving, especially during night hours. When drivers are using a cell phone, driving under the influence, falling asleep at the wheel, or any other distracting activity, they’re putting pedestrians at risk of being hit. To prevent this issue, California created laws specifically for the protection of pedestrians. One of those laws state that vehicles must yield as they approach pedestrians, regardless of who has the right of way.

The police are investigating this accident to determine what caused this accident and who will be held liable. Because there were multiple vehicles involved and a pedestrian was killed, determining liability might be difficult. Once they finalize their reports, it’s likely that a wrongful death lawsuit and a personal injury lawsuit may be filed.
