Pedestrian Accident Investigation is Underway

The California Highway Police is currently investigating the accident.

According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, approximately 6,227 pedestrians were killed in the U.S. back in 2018, a 250 increase from the previous year. Pedestrians are more vulnerable to the dangers on the roadway than a passenger of a private vehicle. Unlike passengers of private cars that have airbags and seatbelts to protect them, pedestrians do not have any protection that can help them avoid sustaining fatal injuries.

When facing cases like this, it’s vital to have an experienced Santa Clara personal injury attorney conduct an independent probe. Attorneys have the resources that can help them prove the negligence of the liable party. They can utilize their resources to re-interview important witnesses, review relevant surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain phone and texting records of the responsible party.
