Why Pedestrian Accidents Happen
Pedestrian accidents happen for numerous reasons. It is possible for a pedestrian to be at fault, especially if they run out into traffic unannounced outside of the crosswalk. However, most cases do not involve this type of accident but are instead due to driver error and reckless operation.
Driver distraction is by far the most common reason for collisions in the area, including pedestrian accidents. Drivers looking at their phones, using navigation systems, or eating are examples of this. Other reasons for these accidents include speeding, especially to get through a light, poor visibility, impairment, and fatigue.
It matters who is at fault. Police will investigate, but having your own attorney to further gather information to prove your losses is essential. If a car struck you or your loved one lost their life in an accident like this, seek legal guidance immediately.
