Walnut Creek Pedestrian Accidents and Personal Injury Claims
California law requires drivers to exercise an extra duty of care toward pedestrians, particularly minors, remaining vigilant and prepared to stop when they are present in or near the roadway. When a pedestrian collision leaves a young victim injured, investigators with California law enforcement examine visibility, speed, and driver attentiveness to determine what factors contributed to the crash.
Because the youth’s condition and the cause of the crash have not yet been disclosed, the family will likely need to wait for the police department’s fuller investigative findings before the scope of any potential claim becomes clear. The youth injured in this collision may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim, which can provide compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident.
