California Pedestrian Collisions
An average of 67 people lose their lives every day in car crashes across the state of California. Those who are traveling outside of their vehicles are at an increased risk of suffering fatal injuries. Pedestrians do not have adequate protection during crashes, which leaves them completely vulnerable. More than 893 pedestrians end up passing away from injuries sustained in auto wrecks each year in our state.
Pedestrians are often harmed in crashes due to drivers who are negligent in the operation of their vehicles. We see many people struck by speeding drivers, motorists who are distracted by cellphones and other objects, and those who are impaired by drugs or alcohol. Although there are several laws in place to protect pedestrians, we continue to see them harmed at an alarming rate.
