Pedestrian Accidents in California

In California, pedestrian accidents are a significant issue, frequently leading to severe injuries or fatalities. Factors such as acceleration, failure to yield, and distracted driving contribute to these tragic incidents. In California, pedestrians are routinely granted the right-of-way at intersections and crosswalks. Victims or their families may pursue compensation through personal injury or wrongful death claims when a pedestrian is injured or dies as a result of a driver's negligence.

Medical expenses, as well as non-economic losses, like pain and suffering, may be compensated through damages. In California, the comparative negligence system permits injured parties to recover damages even if they are partially at fault, with compensation adjusted accordingly. It is imperative to take prompt legal action, as the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident.
