Receiving Legal Help as a Pedestrian in an Auto Collision

In the late evening on July 24, 2016, a young woman was walking across the street at the intersection of Sweetwater Road and Fairlomas Road in National City, California, when the driver of a Honda Civic hit her.  According to the San Diego Union Tribune, the young woman was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.  While there was no crosswalk, the woman was crossing at an intersection when the driver of the Civic collided with her.

Even though pedestrians have the right of way under California state law, it is still easy for drivers to not see them or misjudge the intentions of a pedestrian.  As a result, auto collisions with pedestrians are extraordinarily common.  According to statistics published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 150,000 pedestrians were treated for non-fatal injuries and 4,735 pedestrians were killed in auto collisions across the United States in 2013.  This frequency means that being in an auto collision as a pedestrian should not mean worrying about receiving the proper legal help.
