Car Accidents in California
California is a dangerous place for pedestrians. According to statistics, the pedestrian death rate across our state in 2022 was 1.29 per 100,000 people. For comparison, the national rate of pedestrian deaths is 1.04 per 100,000. With a substantially higher death rate and thousands of reported injuries each year, the risks to pedestrians are quite apparent. Given the circumstances surrounding most pedestrian crashes, victims are likely to suffer serious injuries or death when they are struck by a vehicle on California’s roadways.
