<\/a>Pamela Galloway, 59, was killed after a vehicle-pedestrian collision Tuesday afternoon in Long Beach.<\/p>\n\nThe Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified the victim as Pamela Galloway.<\/p>\n
\nGalloway was struck around 1 p.m. near Fourth Street and Ximeno Avenue, Long Beach police said. Tragically, she died at the scene as a result of multiple blunt traumatic injuries. The driver of the vehicle, a 53-year-old woman, remained at the crash site.<\/p>\n
\nAlcohol or speed were not believed to be factors in the crash.<\/p>\n
\nThe investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED<\/p>\n
\nWalking on American roads has grown increasingly dangerous over the years, largely due to the surge in heavier vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, speed-focused road design, and reckless driver behavior. Eighty-four percent of pedestrian deaths in 2023 occurred in urban areas, up from 59% in 1975, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIn most instances, pedestrians possess the right of way when crossing an intersection or a street regardless of if they are in a marked crosswalk,\u201d said Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney.<\/p>\n
\nBond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal, noted that it\u2019s imperative to have an independent probe conducted by a seasoned lawyer to help protect the rights of the victim\u2019s family in cases such as this.<\/p>\n
\nTime is of the essence in cases such as this, and the family of a victim must be ensured that evidence is reviewed in an efficient manner.<\/p>\n
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt is almost always a driver\u2019s duty to yield to any pedestrian,\u201d said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal. The family of Pamela Galloway may be entitled to a wrongful death claim.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFamily members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of income and companionship, pain and suffering, funeral expenses, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident,\u201d said Formica.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\u201cInsurance companies often try to pressure victims to settle for a quick payout for far less than the case is worth,\u201d Formica noted. \u201cHowever, an attorney will vigorously advocate for their client to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.\u201d<\/p>\n
