Pedestrian Accidents in California
Hundreds of pedestrians are killed annually in the state of California. Thousands more are left with serious injuries that require medical attention. There are several reasons why these accidents continue to take place day after day. Leading causes of pedestrian crashes include:
- Driving too fast: Speeding is one of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents. When you drive too fast, you put yourself and other pedestrians at risk.
- Failing to yield: Yielding means stopping before you come to a stop sign or traffic light. Many drivers don't see pedestrians because they're driving too fast or looking down at their phones. Failing to yield can lead to a serious injury for a pedestrian.
- Running red lights: Running red lights is another common cause of pedestrian accidents. When you run a red light, you put yourself and other pedestrians at risk. Not only that but running red lights can lead to tickets and fines.
- Distractions: Distractions can take many forms, from drinking and driving to texting while driving. When drivers take their attention off the road ahead, they are likely to miss seeing pedestrians who are traveling nearby.
