Pedestrian Accidents in California
Pedestrian accidents in California often occur along busy roads like Figueroa Street, El Camino Real, and Broadway, where foot traffic crosses paths with speeding or distracted drivers. Intersections without signals, poorly marked crosswalks, and congested urban streets increase the risk of impact. These collisions frequently lead to severe injuries, including leg fractures, head trauma, and internal damage. Pedestrians struck by vehicles rarely have time to react or avoid the collision, and recovery often involves hospitalization, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Pedestrian accidents are increasingly common in areas like Orangevale, near Sacramento, where high-traffic zones such as residential neighborhoods, shopping centers, schools, and public transit stops pose a significant risk to pedestrians. If you’ve been injured, it’s crucial to consult a Sacramento Pedestrian Accident Lawyer to help secure the compensation you deserve.
