Pedestrian Accidents in California

In California, pedestrian accidents are a serious problem that frequently leads to serious injuries or even death. These tragic events are caused by a number of factors, including speeding, failing to yield, and distracted driving. At junctions and crosswalks, pedestrians often have the right-of-way under California law. Victims or their relatives may file personal injury or wrongful death claims to recover damages when a pedestrian is hurt or killed as a result of a driver's carelessness.

Medical costs, missed income, and non-monetary losses like pain and suffering may all be covered by damages. Because California uses a comparative negligence system, injured parties can still receive compensation that is modified for their partial culpability. Prompt legal action is essential since personal injury claims have a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the accident.

Fortunately, an experienced personal injury lawyer can help you navigate the complexities of these cases and make sure that victims' rights are upheld and they receive the compensation they are entitled to.
