Pedestrian Accidents in California
Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable and seriously impacted crash victims on our state’s roadways. A pedestrian has no protection from the impact of an accident and is likely to be seriously injured or even killed when a collision takes place. Sadly, many pedestrians are injured in accidents that are someone else’s fault. Negligent drivers play a major role in California pedestrian crashes. Speeding, reckless driving, distraction, and impairment are among the most common reasons that these accidents occur.
