Pedestrian Accidents

An Aggressive Pedestrian Accident Lawyer On Your Side

Driver negligence that is frequently sited in pedestrian accidents is not paying attention when operating near a crosswalk. This may be due to the driver being drunk or being distracted by texting while driving. Failure to use turn signals, disobeying speed limits, or not responding to road conditions such as snow or ice are other common causes of pedestrian accidents. Drivers incur a higher expectation of responsibility when the pedestrian is a child, who is not expected to behave as predictably as an adult pedestrian would.

More than meets the eye in pedestrian accidents

Causes and responsibilities in pedestrian accidents are not always as clear as they might seem. While pedestrians have the right of way in many instances, both the vehicle operator and the pedestrian have responsibilities to proceed with care and caution.

Pedestrians are mainly bound to the indicators that determine their right of way: crossing only with the "walk" signal and staying within the cross-walk boundaries. They are also expected not to interrupt traffic flow by suddenly entering the roadway.
