Unmarked crosswalks are still considered legal crosswalks for the purpose of pedestrian use. In such cases the family would be able to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver of the vehicle. California law permits the family of the deceased to file a wrongful death cause of action for their injuries. They are essentially placed in the shoes of their family member to recover for their injuries. Downtown L.A. Law Group handles wrongful death cases in the Clairmont Mesa area.
