California Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians in California are among the most vulnerable types of crash victims on our local roadways. While pedestrian accidents are not as common as other types of crashes, they are also more likely to lead to serious injuries. A pedestrian has no protection from the force and impact of a crash and is likely to suffer major injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, spinal cord and neck injuries, and other types of serious trauma.
The results from a pedestrian crash can be life-altering and can include physical injuries but also emotional trauma, financial losses, and more. The long-lasting impacts of these accidents can leave victims feeling hopeless and distraught. However, there may be relief available. Under California law, you could be entitled to compensation if you were involved in a pedestrian crash that was not your fault.
