Pedestrian Accidents in California 

Pedestrian accidents do not occur as often as other types of collisions. However, this does not mean that they are any less dangerous or deadly. In fact, they tend to be far more serious than other types of collisions due to the fact that pedestrians have no protection from the force and impact of the accident itself. Pedestrian collisions occur for a variety of reasons but are often attributable to careless or negligent driving, including:

• Speeding
• Impaired driving
• Distraction
• Failure to yield at crosswalks and stop signs

Every pedestrian accident must be closely investigated in order to determine its cause and who should be held responsible. Where a driver’s actions have led to the accident, the pedestrian may have certain legal rights, including the right to receive compensation for their damages. Under California law, victims may have a remedy but ultimately it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
