OUR PEDESTRIAN CAR ACCIDENT LAWYERS HELP YOU WIN

Usually, except in very limited circumstances, pedestrians have the right of way. Automobile drivers are responsible for yielding to pedestrians who lawfully cross the street. However in some pedestrian car accident cases, drivers do not properly yield and cause injuries to occur. All too often, pedestrians are struck by negligent or distracted drivers who do not have the right of way. In worst cases, pedestrians are struck by drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Please see our drunk driving page for more information about accidents involving the use of drugs or alcohol.

Negligence behind the wheel can take a variety of different forms including, but not limited to:

– Aggressive Driving
– Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
– Fatigued driving
– Failing to signal
– Failure to yield
– Distracted Driving
– Improper passing
– Not having lights on
– Speeding
– Texting while driving

Unfortunately, drivers involved in pedestrian car accidents cause serious harm to people walking on the road. Drivers typically sustain less damages compared to the people they injure in a car accident. Besides common injuries in car accidents such as, cuts, scrapes and bruises, more serious injuries can occur, such as broken bones, head/neck injuries, and even death in worst case scenarios.

Unfortunately, sometimes after a pedestrian has been struck by a vehicle, the driver of that vehicle flees the scene. This is typically referred to a hit and run accident. In this case, if the driver is not found, we may pursue legal action against your own insurance company in order to make sure you are properly taken care of.
