Pedestrian Accident

Pedestrian cases often turn on right-of-way, visibility and driver conduct.

A careful review can include traffic signals, crosswalks, surveillance or traffic-camera footage, witness statements and the driver's actions before impact.

01

Failure to Yield

Crosswalk and intersection crashes can occur when drivers fail to yield.

02

Distracted Drivers

Phone use and inattention can cause drivers to miss pedestrians.

03

Speeding

Higher speeds reduce reaction time and can increase injury severity.

04

Low Visibility

Nighttime conditions, lighting and sight lines can become important evidence.

05

Backing Accidents

Parking lots and driveways can create dangerous blind spots.

06

Serious Trauma

Pedestrian crashes can cause brain injuries, fractures, spinal injuries and permanent disability.

✓

✓

✓
Collect witness information and identify nearby cameras.
