Understanding Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents can result in severe injuries due to the exposed nature of individuals on foot. We specialize in representing victims of pedestrian accidents, recognizing the specific dynamics of these cases.
-
Vulnerability of pedestrians: Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable in traffic, lacking vehicles’ protective barriers. As a result, even a low-speed collision with a pedestrian can lead to serious injuries such as fractures, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries.
-
Common causes of pedestrian accidents: Pedestrian accidents often occur due to factors such as distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, impaired driving, and disregard for traffic signals. Identifying the cause is crucial in establishing liability and building a compelling case.
-
Duty of care for drivers: Motorists must exercise caution and awareness, especially in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic. Failing to adhere to this duty can lead to accidents, and drivers may be held responsible for injuries caused by their negligence.
-
Crosswalk safety: Crosswalks are designated areas for pedestrians to cross safely. However, accidents can still occur if drivers fail to yield the right of way. Understanding the rules surrounding crosswalks is essential in assessing fault in pedestrian accidents.
-
Compensation for pedestrian accident victims: Victims of pedestrian accidents may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our goal is to ensure that our clients receive fair and comprehensive compensation for the accident’s physical, emotional, and financial toll.
