Pedestrian Accidents in California
Pedestrian accidents throughout the state of California send thousands of victims to area hospitals with injuries each year. People traveling outside of vehicles are particularly vulnerable to the impact of vehicles weighing several thousands of pounds. As a result, many pedestrians sustain traumatic head injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and internal organ damages after being injured in a traffic-related incident. Many injured pedestrians require hospitalization and have to spend months going back and forth to treatment, therapy, and rehabilitation. Although we want to believe that everyone is able to recover from their injuries, this is not always the case. In fact, numerous victims are left permanently disabled from their injuries.
Although there are several treatment options available for victims, they come at an extraordinary cost. There are many instances where car accidents are caused by the actions of other motorists. These accidents can include people texting or using cellphones while driving, drunk driving, speeding, ignoring traffic control devices, and engaging in unsafe driving behaviors. When victims are harmed in accidents as a result of another driver’s negligence, it is crucial that they work with a pedestrian accident attorney in California to protect their legal rights.
