Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in California
Fatal accidents take the lives of thousands of people in California every year. Hundreds of victims are not inside vehicles at all of the time of their accidents. Without a doubt, pedestrians are far more vulnerable to suffering severe injuries as a result of accidents that take place. Unfortunately, many pedestrians are victimized by negligent and reckless drivers. Common causes of pedestrian crashes in our state include:
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Failing to yield the right of way
- Distracted driving
