Pedestrian Accidents in California
It is undeniable that pedestrians are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to being involved in motor vehicle accidents. These victims are more likely to suffer internal organ injuries, spinal cord injuries, head trauma, and severe compound fractures as a result of their accidents. This is due to the fact that they have no protection from outside forces.
Pedestrians who are injured in accidents often have to go through extensive medical treatment. Quite often, victims have to go through months of therapy and rehabilitation.
