Pedestrian Accidents in California

California is one of the most dangerous states for pedestrians, with thousands of individuals injured in collisions each year. High-traffic intersections in Los Angeles, like Santa Monica Boulevard, pose significant risks to those traveling on foot, particularly in the evening hours. Many pedestrian accidents result in severe injuries that require long-term medical care.

Several key factors contribute to pedestrian accidents, including:

• Distracted Driving – Drivers using their phones, adjusting their radios, or engaging in other distractions often fail to notice pedestrians in crosswalks.
• Failure to Yield – Many pedestrian crashes happen when drivers fail to stop or slow down at intersections, even when pedestrians have the right of way.
• Poor Visibility – Accidents are more common at night, especially in poorly lit areas where drivers may struggle to see pedestrians.
• Speeding – Higher speeds increase both the likelihood of a collision and the severity of injuries sustained by pedestrians.
• Left-Turn Collisions – Drivers turning left at intersections may focus on oncoming traffic and fail to see a pedestrian crossing the street.

When a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle, they often suffer serious injuries such as fractures, head trauma, or internal damage. Medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages can create additional stress for victims and their families.
