Pedestrian Fatalities in Los Angeles: Legal Support for Affected Families

Pedestrian fatalities in Los Angeles now account for nearly a third of all traffic-related deaths, with a steady increase in such incidents since 2009. Key factors include higher pedestrian traffic, greater reliance on walking, distracted behaviors, and inadequate infrastructure like poorly designed crosswalks. Most fatal accidents occur at night, particularly in urban or non-intersection areas. Poor street lighting, speeding, and driving under the influence are also major contributors.

There is an increasing demand for improved safety measures and traffic regulation changes to reduce these rising fatalities.
