Fatal Pedestrian Accident in Los Angeles
Pedestrian accidents are among the most serious and devastating collisions in Los Angeles. Most pedestrians are seriously injured when they are hit by a vehicle. Every year, hundreds of victims will lose their lives, and many more will be hurt when they are involved in Los Angeles pedestrian crashes. A pedestrian accident can be a disputed event. In other words, if you or a loved one have been affected by an accident, the driver may attempt to avoid responsibility by blaming the pedestrian or someone else for the crash. These accidents must be carefully investigated in order to determine the cause and who should be held responsible.
Many pedestrian accidents are avoidable in nature. Most of them are caused by negligent drivers. Some common examples of negligence include distraction, texting while driving, speeding, and impairment. Drivers have a duty to pay attention to their surroundings in order to avoid causing an accident. When a driver violates this duty and causes a crash, they can be held legally responsible for their actions.
