Los Angeles is known for its vibrant energy and constant movement, but it’s also one of the most dangerous cities for pedestrians. With a growing population and heavily trafficked roads, accidents involving pedestrians have become alarmingly common. These incidents often stem from driver negligence, such as speeding, running red lights, failing to yield at crosswalks, or being distracted by smartphones or other devices. Drivers who engage in reckless behaviors—like driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or ignoring pedestrian signals—further increase the risk of harm.

However, it’s not just driver error that leads to these tragic events. Environmental factors, such as poorly maintained sidewalks, inadequate crosswalk markings, and dimly lit streets, contribute significantly to the problem. Pedestrians often find themselves navigating unsafe conditions that leave them vulnerable, especially in areas where infrastructure prioritizes vehicles over foot traffic. This combination of negligence and environmental hazards creates a perfect storm for pedestrian accidents. At Impact Attorneys, we delve into these underlying causes to hold at-fault parties accountable and seek the compensation you deserve.
