Pedestrian accident claims involve devastating injuries. If you or a family member have been injured in a pedestrian/motor vehicle accident, contact us.
There are state and local laws and ordinances that govern how and where pedestrians may walk and how and where they may cross the street. If there is no sidewalk, then pedestrians may be allowed to walk on the hard surface of the road staying to the left. Drivers are, of course, required to change course in order to avoid contact with a pedestrian. A pedestrian in a clearly marked crosswalk is entitled to protection.
Every year thousands of pedestrians are killed in motor vehicle crashes. Prompt and thorough investigation of these claims is critical. Once the facts have been gathered and the applicable law has been reviewed then a plan of action can be set out. Most pedestrian accidents involve some eye witnesses. It is critical to locate and interview those witnesses promptly.If you or a loved one have been involved in a pedestrian accident you need to move quickly to protect your rights.
