What Is Considered A Pedestrian Accident In California?
In California, a pedestrian accident occurs when a motor vehicle — for example, an automobile, a commercial truck or a motorcycle — collides with someone who is walking, using a wheelchair, or riding a non-motorized form of transport such as a skateboard or roller skates.
According to California law, drivers are required to give way to pedestrians who are in either marked or unmarked crosswalks; at the same time, pedestrians themselves must exercise reasonable care for their safety and avoid stepping into immediate traffic hazards.
Common causes and scenarios involving pedestrian collisions include:
- The failure of a careless driver to give way to people in marked or unmarked crosswalks.
- The crash was caused by a case of severe distracted driving in which the driver took their eyes or mind off the road.
- An incident involving a driver who was texting, resulting in a collision with a pedestrian, occurring at an intersection or in a parking lot.
- A driver who ignores red light signals, stop signs, or fails to check crosswalks.
- A dangerous driver commits a clear violation of the rules when turning.
- A driver who is unsafe speeding in areas of a school zone where children and families are known to walk.
After a collision, insurance adjusters usually try to reduce liability and decrease the value of the claim. The insurer might make an unfair argument about the pedestrian’s negligence, try to deny a claim for a jaywalking accident, or dispute the visibility of dark clothing to place blame on the victim. Since Mr. Shah is an experienced pedestrian accident lawyer, he expects to come across these defensive strategies, collects important evidence and vigorously defends your rights to make sure that you get fair compensation.
