Pedestrian Accidents in California

Accidents involving pedestrians are not as common as other types of collisions, however, they still occur with regularity. Pedestrian crashes frequently involve serious injuries for victims who have no protection from the impact of the collision. A pedestrian accident results in injuries over 80% of the time and about 5% of these crashes will be fatal.

Pedestrian collisions occur for many reasons but often take place due to driver negligence. Motorists who fail to see pedestrians are a frequent cause of a crash.
