Pedestrian Accidents in the Bay Area

Pleasant Hill, CA - Three Victims Injured in Pedestrian Crash After Fireworks Show at Viking Dr

Over the span of just one recent year, more than 30,000 traffic crashes resulted in fatalities, major injuries, or minor injuries on Bay Area roadways. Hundreds of lives are tragically lost each year on major thoroughfares and highways throughout the bustling city centers in Northern California, including San Jose, Oakland, Fremont, and beyond. Fatal pedestrian accidents are one of the most common contributors to vehicle fatalities in the Bay Area.

Serious pedestrian accidents causing injuries or even fatalities are all too common in California, especially in these busy cities comprising the Bay Area. When victims are injured in a pedestrian crash, they may have to deal with other drivers' insurance companies, long-term physical issues, and exorbitant hospital bills. Oftentimes, as a result of these incidents, victims succumb to their injuries.
