Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in California
Pedestrian accidents in the state of California take the lives of nearly 1,000 people each year. These accidents are often a result of drivers who engage in reckless and negligent actions while operating their vehicles. Some of the leading causes include:
Speeding: Drivers who travel too fast for road conditions may have a difficult time stopping their vehicles in time to avoid a crash. As a result, countless pedestrians suffer fatal injuries as a result of speeding.
Failing to yield: Even though pedestrians have the right of way to cross in designated crossing areas, we continue to see countless people harmed or even killed in accidents due to drivers failing to yield the right of way.
Distractions: When drivers are operating their vehicles without paying attention to the road ahead, they may not be able to see pedestrians in time to avoid a collision. Unfortunately, distractions like cellphones, radios, and food continue to be at the center of fatal accidents in our state.
