Proving Liability for Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Drivers are frequently at fault in pedestrian accidents, such as when backing out of a driveway or parking spot without looking or by striking the walker while turning or crossing an intersection. Other times the vehicle may swerve from the road as a result of distracted or drunk driving.
Here are some of the main causes of pedestrian accidents:
- Distracted driving: When drivers fail to pay attention, accidents happen. The first thing that comes to mind when distracted driving is mentioned is usually cellphone use, but there are many other forms of distracted driving, including adjusting the temperature in the car or talking to a passenger. These dangerous habits are the cause of many pedestrian accidents.
- Left-hand turns: Three times as many people get hit by vehicles turning left than by those turning right. When a driver makes a left turn, they tend to be more focused on other cars and forget to look out for pedestrians, resulting in an accident.
- Rolling stops: When a driver does not make a complete stop, they may not notice nearby pedestrians, which is why this is a common cause of accidents.
- Impaired driving: Any time a driver is under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, it increases the chance of an accident occurring. Impaired drivers are less likely to see a pedestrian or respond on time.
- Speeding: When motorists drive at high speeds, they may not have the necessary time to react to a pedestrian. Moreover, increased speed will also increase the severity of the injury to a pedestrian.
If you are injured in a pedestrian accident, it is crucial to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Proving negligence or recklessness is crucial in this type of case. For example, injuries sustained from an intoxicated driver may not only call for compensation, but also punitive damages and criminal penalties for the driver.
