Many pundits associate Californias high death
ratio with its congested roads and bad or
nonexitent walkways and insufficient crossing
signals. Nonetheless, there is no surprise in
high death ratio in dedastrian fatalities. After
all, pedestrians have no protective shields. They
are totally vulnerable and subject to grave
injuries when struck by thousands of pounds of
moving metals, even at slow speeds. These tragic
results are reminders to all drivers and
pedestrians to pay more attention in sharing the
roads and highways. Especially, pedestrians
should not lower their vigilance just because
they are legally crossing on a marked crosswalk.

The most prevalent cause of pedestrian injury is
driver distraction due to texting, talking,
putting on make up while driving, making a
U-turn, rolling on a stop sign rather than
stopping and looking at both sides of the road,
prior to turning. Although, everyone sharing the
roads has a duty of reasonable care, the courts
in California have long recognized that the
danger posed by motor vehicles is much greater
than that of the pedestrians. Therefore, drivers
are held to a greater duty of care standard. This
duty heightens even more, where Children are
frequently present, such as school zones. For
instance California Vehicle Code Section 19150
mandates that drivers must yield the right-of-way
to pedestrians in crosswalks. Even if
Pedestrians are outside a crosswalk, drivers have
higher duty of care to lookout for them.

Hit and Run Cases
In cases, where a driver struck a pedestrian and
leaves the scene of accident, which is a serious
crime, if the pedestrian has uninsured motorist
insurance on his or her own vehicle or someone
else in their household has such insurance, the
injured pedestrian may be covered by the
uninsured motorist coverage.
