Pedestrian Accidents in California

Each year, thousands of pedestrians suffer injuries in accidents throughout California. Urban areas, intersections, and crosswalks are common locations for these incidents. Due to the vulnerability of pedestrians compared to vehicles, injuries from these crashes are often severe.

Several key factors contribute to pedestrian-related accidents, including:

• Drivers Failing to Yield: Many accidents occur when motorists fail to yield the right of way at crosswalks or intersections. Even in marked pedestrian zones, inattentive or reckless drivers may cause collisions.
• Distracted Driving: Cell phones, in-car entertainment systems, and other distractions can divert a driver’s attention from the road, increasing the risk of striking a pedestrian.
• Poor Visibility: Many pedestrian crashes happen in low-light conditions. If a driver does not see a pedestrian due to insufficient street lighting or weather conditions, accidents are more likely.
• Speeding in Residential Areas: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of injuries in pedestrian-related crashes, particularly in neighborhoods and near schools.
