How Negligence Factors In
Because of their lack of protection, a pedestrian may suffer catastrophic injuries resulting in years of medical interventions and costs. Proving negligence in a pedestrian accident can be complicated, particularly since a pedestrian may not have even seen what happened.
Accident claims involving pedestrians are greatly dependent on the duty of care that both the driver and pedestrian have exercised. Both must follow the rules of the road with reasonable care. But in many cases, it is the driver of the car who has acted negligently.
Driver negligence can take many forms
- Alcohol or drug impaired driving
- Distracted driving
- Aggressive driving
- Speeding
- Failure to stop at traffic lights,
- Unsafe pulling out of driveways
Insurance is Often Not Enough
