Pedestrian Accidents in California
Pedestrian accidents take place more commonly in California than in many other states throughout the U.S. In 2018, it was reported that approximately 893 pedestrians were killed in accidents and many others sustained injuries. The reason why these accidents tend to be so severe is due to the fact that pedestrians have no protection from harm. When you have been seriously injured at the hands of another party’s negligence, you may wonder where you can turn. Holding another party liable for your claim may not be easy, as other parties may try to pin the blame on you at times. This is why you should have the help of a dedicated attorney on your side.
