In California, pedestrians always have the right of way. However, that does not always mean they are safe to cross a street or intersection when they choose to do so. A pedestrian accident, usually caused by the negligence of a motorist, can result in catastrophic injuries.
Injuries in pedestrian accidents can be physically devastating to a person, and can include financial damages like high medical expenses and lost wages.
