Pedestrian Accidents in California
Throughout California, pedestrian-vehicle collisions are unfortunately common. This is especially true in busy urban areas where pedestrians often share the road with vehicles. Regrettably, recent statistics have positioned California as one of the most hazardous states for pedestrians in the United States, with a high rate of pedestrian injuries and fatalities. The Sacramento metropolitan area itself ranks as one of the worst for pedestrian safety in the nation.
When these pedestrian accidents occur, they often result in severe or potentially fatal injuries, as pedestrians have no protection. Given the prevalence of these incidents, it is crucial to retain competent legal representation to protect your best interests. Seeking help from an experienced California pedestrian accident lawyer is crucial after a serious incident.
