Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in California
Motor vehicle accidents reported in California take the lives of thousands of people every year. Unfortunately, there are many instances where victims are not traveling inside vehicles at all. Instead, innocent pedestrians suffer fatal injuries due to the negligence of drivers.
Some of the leading causes of crashes in our state include:
- Drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Drivers who speed or travel too fast for road conditions
- Drivers who run red lights or pass stop signs
- Drivers who fail to yield to others
Unfortunately, these and other acts of negligence continue to take the lives of innocent people across our state every day. Pedestrians are at a significant disadvantage during crashes due to the fact that they have nothing to protect them. Instead, pedestrians are left entirely vulnerable to the impact of collisions.
When innocent people lose their lives in accidents, their families are often forced to deal with towering financial consequences related to funeral arrangements, burial fees, medical expenses, and more. In some cases, families may have legal options available to help them move forward.
