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. Crashes near schools, shopping centers, and public transit stop disproportionately affect some of the most vulnerable road users. Across California, in areas such as Sacramento and other major cities, these incidents are common, which is why working with an experienced Sacramento pedestrian injury lawyer is essential to protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
