Causes of Los Angeles Pedestrian Accidents

The majority of Los Angeles pedestrian accidents occur because a driver does not see a pedestrian before it is to late to avoid hitting him or her. This may be because the driver is speeding, or is drunk or otherwise distracted. Pedestrian accidents frequently occur at dusk or nighttime, when visibility is greatly reduced. Statistically, young children and the elderly are the most vulnerable. Children are the most likely to be struck by a vehicle and elderly adults are the most likely to die from injuries in a pedestrian accident. Common injuries in pedestrian accidents include broken bones, bruises and lacerations, internal organ injuries, skull fractures, closed head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other neck and back injuries.
