Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

One of the first steps in determining a plaintiff’s options after a pedestrian accident is uncovering the cause of the accident. Some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents in California include:

Low visibility

Pedestrians are more difficult to see at night, in areas with poor lighting, or during inclement weather.

Moving violations

A driver who attempts to cut through a red light or stop sign may not notice a pedestrian who is already in the crosswalk and cause an accident.

Failure to signal

If a pedestrian sees a car coming from the opposite direction but does not see the vehicle’s turn signal engaged, the pedestrian may think it is safe to cross the intersection as the driver turns.

Jaywalking

Crossing in the middle of the block or before the light indicates it is safe to cross can easily lead to an accident.

The average person may also not know where to look for additional compensation beyond his or her medical expenses and property damage.
