Pedestrian Fatalities in Bakersfield
Pedestrian accidents claim the lives of thousands of people every year in the United States. A large percentage of victims end up losing their lives in these preventable accidents right here in our state. In fact, over 900 people end up passing away as a result of injuries sustained in pedestrian accidents in California each year. In many cases, victims end up losing their lives in accidents due to drivers who are distracted, impaired, or acting negligently while operating their vehicles.
Any vehicle collision has the potential to cause catastrophic injuries for those involved.
