With the city of Los Angeles having year round good weather it causes more people to be outside. More people walking the city, more tourists trying to get away from the cold, more joggers, more runners, and more people living downtown to walk to work. All of these lead to more pedestrians on the street at a given time. There is not much protection for these pedestrians from a distracted driver. Even if you are following all traffic laws and using the crosswalks you could still become a victim to a pedestrian accident. If this is something that has happened to you, then you need to seek out a Los Angeles pedestrian accident attorney to go through your options.
Most pedestrian accidents just result in injuries only a minor amount end in death. While those statistics means more people survive, it is still not great that so many people are getting injured. Land Injury Law are a personal injury law firm in Los Angeles who understand that pedestrians have their own set of rights. Pedestrians overall have the right of way when it comes to traffic and Los Angeles is no different. Negligent drivers are who cause pedestrian accidents and they need to be held accountable for their actions. The injured pedestrian should not be forced to pay all their medical bills when they were doing what they should be and someone else was not paying attention and hits them.
