What the Law Says

California Vehicle Code section 21954 addresses the duties of pedestrians and drivers when a pedestrian is on the roadway outside a marked crosswalk. A pedestrian must yield to vehicles, but the statute states that this does not relieve a driver from the duty to exercise due care for the safety of any pedestrian on the roadway.

California Code of Civil Procedure section 377.60 identifies who may bring a wrongful death action, including certain surviving family members and others who depended on the person who died. Fault in a crash can be shared, so the facts and the evidence gathered early on matter.

This summary is general information, not legal advice. Every case depends on its specific facts.
