Pedestrian Accidents in California
Every day, innocent pedestrians are hurt in car crashes across the state of California. Quite often, these accidents are a result of negligent motorists. We see countless pedestrians injured due to drivers who fail to yield the right-of-way, are speeding, or run red lights and intersections. When drivers are not careful and considerate of pedestrians, they can cause severe accidents that leave them harmed.
Pedestrians do not have protection during accidents. As a result, they are much more likely to suffer serious injuries during accidents. Pedestrians harmed in accidents often suffer from spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and even traumatic brain injuries.
