Why are Pedestrian Accidents Caused?
The higher the population of an area, the increased chances that the numbers of pedestrian accidents will increase. In many cases, although not all, the responsibility of the accident rests on the individual driving the motor vehicle. Typically, pedestrian accidents happen, if the driver of the vehicle does one or more of the following:
- Is driving carelessly, negligently, or recklessly
- Disobeys traffic signals
- Is driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs
- Disregards traffic and weather conditions
- Doesn’t stop at a stop sign
- Distracted drives
- Fails to yield to pedestrians
- Travels at an excessive rate of speed
According to the laws of California, drivers are legally required to adhere to “duty of care” when driving and there are pedestrians there. This is why it’s often the driver’s fault when there’s an accident with a pedestrian. However, the pedestrian is also responsible for being aware of their surroundings for their own safety around motor vehicles. It is important that they stay alert and don’t put themselves or a driver of a motor vehicle in a difficult situation.
