Pedestrian Accidents in California
It’s common to see a pedestrian walking along a neighborhood thoroughfare, municipal street, or near developed roadway areas in California. This is particularly true in light of the state’s year-round temperate climate. However, despite the pedestrians’ universal presence and recognition by drivers, collisions between pedestrians and vehicles traveling through our state happen all too frequently.
In the absence of vehicle protection or safety features, such as airbags, pedestrians are particularly vulnerable to severe or potentially fatal injuries. Regrettably, California has become the ninth most hazardous state in the United States in terms of pedestrian injuries and fatalities in recent years. Over one thousand pedestrian fatalities were documented in the five years prior. Additionally, the Sacramento metropolitan area, which has a population of 2.4 million, is the tenth most dangerous for pedestrians in the United States, as indicated by the most recent census. Every time pedestrians traverse the roadways of the Golden State, they are exposed to a significant risk.
