A pedestrian has no protection from the impact of a crash and can suffer major injuries, including head trauma, broken bones, and paralysis. Statistics tell us that California is a dangerous place for pedestrians. The national state average for pedestrian accidents is 1.04 pedestrian deaths per 100,000 people. In California, the rate is substantially higher with 1.29 deaths per 100,000 residents. In 2022, more than 500 people were killed in California pedestrian crashes and thousands more were hurt.
When a pedestrian accident takes place, it must be closely investigated by authorities in order to determine the cause. Unfortunately, many of these accidents happen to innocent victims.
