Personal Injury

Pedestrian
Accident

As a pedestrian you are protected by the rules of the road as drivers must yield the right of way to pedestrians. A simple thing like crossing the street can be tragic if the rules of the road are not followed.

Pedestrians are often struck because drivers fail to see them and as a result children and senior citizens are at the greatest risk of injury.

Drivers who cause pedestrian accidents often:

Drive without proper care and attention
Fail to observe posted speed limits
Disregard weather or traffic conditions
Disobey traffic signs or signals
Fail to yield the right of way to pedestrians at marked crosswalks
Fail to come to a complete stop at a stop sign
Fail to stop and properly observe before turning right at an intersection
Drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
