Pedestrian Crashes in California

In 2018, 689 pedestrians were killed in California car crashes. The pedestrian fatality rate in the state is 30 percent higher than the national average. In some cases, injured parties can recover lost compensation with the help of a qualified California pedestrian injury attorney.
