🚶 A Major Threat to Our Community
Between 2019–2022 in unincorporated Los Angeles County, there were 1,333 pedestrian-involved collisions, resulting in 153 deaths and 301 severe injuries—highlighting a serious safety issue for Burbank residents.

California Law: Rights, Responsibilities & Liability
- Pedestrians have clear right-of-way protections under Vehicle Code §21950. Drivers who fail to yield in marked or unmarked crosswalks, drive distracted, or speed can be held responsible.
- California uses pure comparative negligence—you can still recover compensation even if deemed partially at fault; your award is reduced by that percentage.
- Pedestrians and drivers both have a duty of care under California Civil Code §1714. Drivers must drive safely and allow for clear stopping distance (ACDA principle).
