Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in California
Fatal pedestrian accidents take the lives of countless people every day in the state of California. Unfortunately, hundreds of people end up passing away as a result of these accidents in our state annually. The majority of pedestrian accidents are preventable.
We see many people lose their lives as a result of speeding motorists, drivers who are distracted, and drivers who simply fail to yield the right-of-way. Losing a loved one in a fatal accident is one of the most devastating things a person can deal with.
