Who’s At Fault?
Drivers have a higher duty of care when it comes to pedestrian safety. They are expected to yield at crosswalks and intersections, stop at red lights and stop signs, exercise caution in areas with high pedestrian traffic, and avoid distracted driving
Pedestrians also have responsibilities and can be found partially at fault. Pedestrians may be partly negligent if that jaywalk, ignore “don’t walk” signs, suddenly step into traffic, walk into traffic while distracted or intoxicated.
Determining Fault: Ultimately, fault is determined by examining the specific circumstances of each case. Sometimes fault is shared by the driver and pedestrian. That’s why, it’s advisable for injured pedestrians to consult with a personal injury lawyer. An experienced attorney can help gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and ensure the pedestrian’s rights are protected throughout the claims process.
Victims of pedestrian accidents may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:
Medical Expenses: Coverage for hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical care.
Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost during recovery and potential future earnings if the injury leads to a disability.
Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Property Damage: Costs for repairing or replacing the motorcycle and any other damaged property.
Wrongful Death Damages: In cases of fatal accidents, surviving family members may seek compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and more.
