Crosswalk & Pedestrian Accidents 101

Being hit by a car while on foot can not only cause serious and catastrophic physical injuries, but the psychological effects may last a lifetime.  In California, there are thousands of pedestrian accidents every year.  Whether the car runs a red light, stop sign, or is making a turn, the California Vehicle Code states that vehicles must yield to all pedestrians as pedestrians have the right-of-way.  Most of the time, even if a crosswalk does not exists and you are crossing the street, the law may recognize the area a “crosswalk” for the purposes of the case.  That is why it is important that you speak with an experienced pedestrian accident lawyer who can properly investigate your case.
