Based on the details provided so far from the report, there are still many unanswered questions. Under California law, drivers who are approaching a pedestrian are required to exercise due care and reduce their speed for the safety of the pedestrian. A forensic examination, however, of both the vehicle and the victim, as well as photos that were taken of the scene, will help investigators determine what transpired. This will help investigators determine which party ultimately caused the accident.
Depending on the results of the investigation, the victim in this specific accident may have the right to a personal injury claim. Pedestrian accident victims are potentially entitled to seek compensation for hospital bills, future medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
