Pedestrian Accidents in California
California has one of the highest rates of pedestrian accidents in the country, particularly in urban areas like South San Francisco. Many pedestrian crashes occur in residential neighborhoods, where vehicles and pedestrians often share the roadway.
Some of the most common causes of pedestrian collisions include distracted driving, failure to yield at crosswalks, and reduced visibility during nighttime hours. Pedestrians are especially vulnerable in traffic incidents, as they lack protection from the impact of a collision.
For those injured in pedestrian accidents, seeking immediate medical attention is crucial, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Additionally, accident victims should understand their legal rights and options for recovering compensation related to medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
