Some suggest that the increase in the number of pedestrian/vehicle accidents is the result of increased population. They mean that by simply having more people around, the likelihood of more accidents is going to happen. In a lot of cases, the fault for the accident lies with the driver of the vehicle that hit the pedestrian. Accidents like these most often occur in the following situations when the driver of the vehicle:

• Doesn’t come to a full stop at a traffic signal
• Travels at high speed
• Drives under influence of alcohol or drugs
• Drives distracted
• Fails to stop for pedestrians
• Does not follow traffic signs
• Is driving carelessly
• Disregards traffic and weather conditions

According to Californian law, drivers are required to provide a certain duty of care when driving in any area where pedestrians are present. That said, not every single pedestrian/vehicle accident is the fault of the driver of the vehicle. Pedestrians are legally required to be proactive about their own personal safety. They need to be aware of their surrounds, be alert and don’t get in the way of moving vehicles. However, the court takes into cognizant the role of the vehicle drivers if there is an accident involving the pedestrian.
