Pedestrian Accidents in California

Pedestrian accidents are the cause of thousands of injuries in California every year. The unfortunate truth is that these victims are more likely to suffer serious injuries and accidents. Common injuries reported in pedestrian crashes include:

• Soft Tissue Injuries: Pedestrians may experience soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains, or contusions due to the force of the impact.
• Internal Injuries: The force of the collision can cause internal injuries to organs, leading to bleeding or damage that may require surgical intervention.
• Facial Injuries: Facial injuries can occur if the pedestrian’s face makes contact with the vehicle or the ground.
• Amputations: In severe cases, the impact of a car crash may lead to the loss of limbs, requiring immediate medical attention and long-term rehabilitation.

Any type of serious injury can require extensive medical treatment. Unfortunately, many victims do not have the financial resources needed to cover these costs.
