Pedestrian Accidents in California

Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable crash victims because they have no protection from the force and impact of a crash. Many pedestrian accidents take place very suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving the victim little time to take evasive maneuvers to avoid the collision. Common causes of California pedestrian accidents include failure to yield, distraction, speeding, and impairment.
