Pedestrian Accidents in California
Each year, hundreds of pedestrians are killed in collisions on California’s roadways.

Unfortunately, many victims of California pedestrian accidents are innocent motorists who were merely in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Under California law, accident victims and their family members could be entitled to compensation following a crash.
