It is easy to visualize a person being struck by a vehicle while walking through an intersection on a busy city street. However, impaired driving and distracted driving often result in pedestrian accidents on suburban and rural streets as well. Drunk driving, excessive speed, inattention to walkers and joggers due to texting, and failure to obey stop signs and crosswalks, are frequent causes of significant bodily injury.
Pedestrian accidents pose some unique issues which require the knowledge and skill of an experienced attorney.
- Who is responsible for medical bills and lost wages?
- What happens if the accident is a “hit and run?”
- How do you prove the driver was at fault?
