Pedestrian Accidents in California

Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable accident victims on our roadways. These individuals have no protection from the impact of a crash, and pedestrian accidents often result in severe injuries and even death. According to statistics, more than 80% of all California pedestrian accidents will result in injuries to the victim. Some common causes of these collisions include speeding, reckless driving, distraction, failure to yield the right of way, and impairment.

If you or a family member have been affected by a California pedestrian crash, you could be entitled to compensation. This includes reimbursement for medical costs, loss of earning capacity, loss of affection and companionship, and potentially more.
