Pedestrian Accidents in California
San Francisco’s busy streets, particularly in neighborhoods like the Mission District, pose significant risks for pedestrians. Crosswalks, intersections, and poorly lit areas can be particularly dangerous, especially when drivers are distracted, speeding, or failing to yield.
California law grants pedestrians the right-of-way in marked and unmarked crosswalks, but accidents still occur due to driver inattention or reckless behavior. Pedestrians involved in collisions often suffer severe injuries, leading to costly medical treatment, lost wages, and emotional distress. Seeking medical care and understanding available legal options are crucial steps for recovery.
