Have You Been Injured in a Pedestrian Accident?
Drivers must exercise what the law calls "reasonable care" when operating an automobile. When they fail to meet this obligation, they may not notice pedestrians in crosswalks, intersections, parking lots and other areas.
Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Failure to obey traffic signs
- Driving under the influence
Of course, the at-fault driver's insurance provider may claim you were to blame for the accident. It may argue you were not paying attention, or darted in front of the vehicle. As experienced personal injury lawyers, we have heard all the arguments and know how to counter them. Our trial lawyers know how to find the facts to pursue justice and compensation for our clients.
Child Pedestrian Accidents
Sadly, children are the most frequent victims of pedestrian accidents. The law requires drivers to pay a higher duty of care when they know or should know that children are nearby. This danger is most prevalent near schools, playgrounds, day care centers and other areas where children play outside.
