California Pedestrian Accidents 
Pedestrian accidents in California result in more than 8,500 injuries per year. These crashes are more likely to cause injuries than other types of collisions, such as those involving passenger vehicles. Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable accident victims on our state’s roadways as they have no protection against the force and impact of the accident.
The cause of every pedestrian crash must be closely investigated by authorities in order to determine the cause and who should be held responsible. Pedestrian collisions can occur for a variety of reasons but most often are attributable to driver negligence. This means that the majority of crashes involving pedestrians could have been avoided through the use of ordinary care and caution.
