The Dangers of Distracted Pedestrians on their Cell Phone

July 25, 2017
Personal Injury

It is now becoming more and more common for pedestrian to be injured due to distractions while using a cell phone. Accidents involving pedestrians in Los Angeles are on the rise. One cause for that is the increased use of cell phones while walking. Before, walking was an activity that that involved a person and nature. Now, walking often involves another object — a cell phone. The streets in Los Angeles are not becoming safer, and thus, the combination of “distracted pedestrians” and the dangerous roads of Los Angeles can lead to a deadly recipe.

Using a cell phone while walking in Los Angeles could result in the following (just to name a few)

  1. Slipping and Falling on sidewalks
  2. Getting hit by a driver of a vehicle
  3. Tripping on objects left on the road
  4. Not paying attention to police cars, ambulances, or firefighters who had turned on their sirens
  5. and more. . .

The above could result in catastrophic injuries to pedestrians, and even death.

Due to the dangers of “distracted pedestrians”, the Los Angeles Police Department initiated a campaign to educate the public about the dangers of the use of cell phones while walking in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department named this campaign “Look Up, Phone Down”. For more information about the campaign, click here to review an article by Fox 11.

Testimonials

Katz Law is unlike any of these attorneys you see on billboards. You are not just another number. They kept me updated about my case from beginning to end, and I was able to a settlement much higher than what I hoped for. I loved the fact that someone was always available to speak to me and I never felt like a stranger. What more can I ask for in an attorney?

David R. , Bankruptcy Client, Yelp.com

I hired Katz Law to represent me after I was rear ended in a small accident. They have been very responsive and able to answer all my questions. They set me up with a doctor and did not charge me anything to start the process. Glad I finally found such a nice attorney and I feel like I am in great hands. Also a beautiful and clean office building... it's nice when someone else takes care of all the headache involved with a case, and this firm did just that. I would definitely recommend this firm

Johnatan P. , Personal Injury Client, Yelp.com

This office represented me after I was involved in a car accident. I didn't know what to do and decided to give them a call after reading their reviews on Yelp. Thank god I did that. They were very responsive to my emails and got me a settlement that is much higher than what I thought I would get. They also helped me negotiate my medical bills. I am planning to recommend them to all of my friends and family.
