Fremont Pedestrian Accident Injury Lawyer
Fremont Hit-by-Car Accident Attorneys
Pedestrian accidents can occur almost anywhere – while a person crosses the street or walks on the side of a street, in a parking lot or on a sidewalk. According to statistics, the majority of pedestrian accidents occur at intersections, however, regardless of where an accident occurs, serious injuries or death can result. In 2008, five pedestrians were involved in fatal traffic accidents in Fremont, reports City-Data.com. Also in 2008, 620 of the 4,414 U.S. fatal pedestrian accidents occurred in California.
Why Do Pedestrian Accidents Occur?
Although a small percentage of pedestrian accidents are the fault of the pedestrian, the majority of accidents are caused by the actions of another individual or entity. For example, inattentive motor vehicle drivers (e.g. drivers who text message, talk on the phone or fidget with the stereo) are a common cause of pedestrian accidents. Another common cause of Oakland pedestrian accidents is flawed road design. Examples of flawed road design include insufficient number of marked crosswalks, faulty traffic light timing and overgrown landscaping. In the event a flawed road design contributed to an accident occurring, the city, state or federal government agency responsible for designing the road may be liable.
