Pedestrian Accidents Lawyers
Pedestrian incidents are unfortunately frequent, particularly in bustling cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego, and other populous areas in California. These cities are home to millions of residents, and their population surges annually with the influx of tourists. Because of the close-knit urban layout, and sometimes challenging traffic and parking conditions, many opt to walk, jog, skateboard, rollerblade, or run. However, with a high volume of motor vehicles navigating the streets, including cars, trucks, and SUVs, collisions between these vehicles and pedestrians can be inevitable. Such accidents often involve children near schools or on neighborhood streets.

But what leads to these automobile-pedestrian collisions?
Common reasons include drivers:
- Using cell phones while driving.
- Ignoring traffic signals or stop signs.
- Exceeding speed limits.
- Driving under fatigue.
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
According to California state law, pedestrians usually have the right-of-way. Specifically, the California Vehicle Code 21950(a) mandates drivers to yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks and at intersections. These accidents can cause severe injuries, ranging from bone fractures and disfigurement to death. Even if the at-fault driver lacks insurance, the injured might be eligible for compensation through their insurance coverage.
After such an incident, why should one promptly consult with legal representation?
