San Fernando Valley Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

With California's roads and highways becoming increasingly congested and gas prices inconsistent and unpredictable, more people are opting to walk to work, school or other reasonably close destinations to save time and money. As pedestrians, these people are not exempt from being involved in a motor vehicle accident.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Authority (NHTSA) reported that 701 pedestrians were killed in traffic accidents in California in 2003, accounting for over 16% of all traffic accident fatalities.

National statistics show that a large percentage of pedestrians injured or killed are between the ages of 0-15 years. This group of children and teenagers is second only to the elderly as the most at risk for being involved in a pedestrian accident.

Driver negligence is the leading cause of pedestrian accidents. Distracted drivers are using cell phones, listening to loud music, or simply not paying attention, making it nearly impossible to react quickly to prevent an accident. If you or someone you know has been injured in a pedestrian accident, you may be able to file against a negligent party that caused the accident to seek financial compensation for your injuries and medical costs.
