Pedestrian Accidents on California Highways
High-speed roadways like Interstate 10 pose extreme dangers for pedestrians, as vehicles traveling at freeway speeds have little time to react to someone in the roadway. Accidents involving pedestrians on highways often result in severe or fatal injuries due to the force of impact.
In many cases, pedestrians on freeways may be stranded motorists, individuals attempting to cross the highway, or people experiencing vehicle breakdowns. Poor visibility, driver distractions, and the high volume of traffic can all contribute to these dangerous incidents.
Victims of pedestrian accidents may face long recovery times, costly medical bills, and lost wages. Understanding the legal options available can be crucial in securing financial assistance for medical expenses and other damages.
