When an automobile collides with a pedestrian, the outcome often includes severe, life-altering injuries, such as broken bones, paralysis, brain trauma or death. These accidents can result from the pedestrian improperly crossing an intersection or darting into the road, as well as failure of the pedestrian or driver to yield the right-of-way. Poor visibility or physical impairment can also play a role in the accident.

Who is responsible in a pedestrian accident?
In pedestrian accident claims, the behavior of the driver and the pedestrian are taken into consideration when determining liability. An automobile driver has a responsibility to drive cautiously to avoid hitting a pedestrian. Likewise, a pedestrian is expected to exercise care and caution to avoid injury. A pedestrian is negligent when darting out into traffic, or failing to obey traffic signals and use marked crosswalks.
