The California Highway Patrol reported that Marcus Edmonds was struck by a vehicle at approximately 12:42 a.m. on the Hollywood (101) Freeway near the Gower Street on-ramp.

FATAL PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Nearly 7,500 pedestrians have died in California between 2009 and 2018, according to the state’s Office of Traffic Safety. California’s pedestrian fatality rate is almost 25% higher than the national average. California remains the state with the highest number of pedestrian fatalities.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all potential factors that must be evaluated,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner with Bond Legal and a national analyst for Accident Injury News. “In some cases, accident reconstruction experts are needed to determine exactly what occurred. These resources are essential in helping victims or their families pursue compensation for damages or loss following a crash.”

According to data from the Governors Highway Safety Association, pedestrian fatalities in the United States have increased at a much faster rate than other traffic deaths. An estimated 6,590 pedestrian fatalities occurred in 2019, marking the highest number in more than 30 years.


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family of Marcus Edmonds may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim for damages, including loss of love and companionship, funeral expenses, emotional suffering, and pain.

“It is generally the responsibility of drivers to yield to pedestrians,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal. “An attorney can serve as an advocate, helping guide a grieving family through this difficult time while protecting their rights.”

Formica added, “Insurance companies often attempt to push quick settlements that may not reflect the true value of a case. An attorney will strongly advocate for the family to ensure fair treatment and appropriate compensation.”
