Liability for San Diego Pedestrian Accidents
A large number of pedestrian accidents are due to speeding. According to the NHTSA, “For more than two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities. In 2020, speeding was a contributing factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities.” There are many steps that should be taken after any pedestrian accident.
- Eye witnesses should be interviewed.
- Medical records should be preserved.
- A thorough, independent investigation should be conducted.
All drivers must slow down and exercise due care to avoid hitting pedestrians. If a driver fails to slow down to avoid hitting pedestrians, this could form the basis of a negligence claim. The family of any pedestrian that died due to the negligence of another driver may have legal recourse through a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death attorney can examine all of the unique facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
