Counties, cities, and local communities in the State of California always find ways to make the roadways better for all motorists and pedestrians. Despite the construction efforts, accidents involving pedestrians continue to happen, resulting in either serious injuries or deaths. Whether it is the driver’s fault due to his or her inattentiveness, or the pedestrian’s fault because of his or her failure to observe, there are a lot of factors that may definitely cause an accident.
As it is, pedestrians are one of the many
road users that are vulnerable to road accidents and have higher chances of
getting seriously injured or killed. To begin with, there is nothing for them
to absorb the impact of vehicle. Also, in these unfortunate incidents,
motorists often fail to recognize the fact that pedestrians always have the right
of way; when a person decides to cross the street on a designated crosswalk,
the driver must stop right away to allow that person to get to the other side.
