Pedestrian Accidents in California
Pedestrian accidents remain a serious concern throughout California, especially in busy urban areas where both vehicle and foot traffic are high. Intersections and freeway-adjacent roads like Treat Boulevard often pose risks for pedestrians due to fast-moving traffic, poor visibility at night, and distracted driving.
Common causes of pedestrian accidents include failure to yield, speeding, driver distraction, and impaired driving. In many cases, victims suffer severe injuries due to the lack of protection, leading to high medical costs, long recovery times, and emotional trauma.
When negligence plays a role in a pedestrian accident, victims may have legal options to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Consulting with a legal professional can help ensure that those affected receive the support they need.
