California Law Protects Pedestrians
California law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, whether marked or unmarked. Drivers must also exercise due care to avoid hitting pedestrians in any location. Even if a pedestrian was crossing mid-block or outside a crosswalk, the driver may still be partially liable if they had time to avoid the collision and failed to do so.
