California Pedestrian Accidents Often Caused by Negligence
While the facts of the California pedestrian accident that injured Ms. Godfrey are still under investigation, many times negligent or reckless conduct by the driver of a vehicle can result in a car or pedestrian accident that causes injury. Someone may be hurt or even killed when a driver fails to exercise ordinary care behind the wheel of a vehicle.
