Pedestrian Accidents in California
Between 2014 and 2018, the state of California saw an increase of more than 26% when it comes to the number of pedestrians who lose their lives in motor vehicle accidents. The number of injured parties also increased as well. Each year, more than 14,000 people suffer injuries in pedestrian accidents across the state.
Even though our state is constantly enacting laws to protect pedestrians, they continue to be harmed as a result of negligent and reckless drivers. Pedestrians are completely vulnerable during crashes, which means they are likely to suffer even more significant injuries than most other victims involved in crashes.
It is also common for pedestrians to be left permanently disabled as a result of motor vehicle accidents. Dealing with the overwhelming mental and physical consequences of a pedestrian accident can be quite challenging.
