Pedestrian Accidents in California
California sees a significant number of pedestrian-involved accidents each year, with thousands of people injured in collisions across the state. High-traffic areas, crosswalks, and university zones often see increased risks due to vehicle and foot traffic interacting in close proximity.
Several common factors contribute to pedestrian accidents, including:
- Failure to Yield: Drivers who fail to yield at crosswalks or intersections often cause serious injuries to pedestrians. Many accidents happen when a vehicle turns without noticing someone crossing.
- Speeding in Residential or School Zones: Exceeding posted speed limits in pedestrian-heavy areas reduces reaction time, making it harder for drivers to stop in time to avoid a collision.
- Distracted Driving: Cell phone use, adjusting in-car controls, or even eating while driving can take a motorist’s attention away from the road, increasing the risk of striking a pedestrian.
- Poor Visibility at Night: Many pedestrian accidents occur in the evening when lower visibility makes it harder for drivers to spot people walking, especially in areas with poor lighting.
