Over 110,000 pedestrians are injured every year in the United States and almost 60,000 pedestrians are killed. Overwhelmingly, negligent drivers are responsible for the majority of pedestrian injuries and fatalities. Contact a pedestrian injury lawyer at The Law Firm of Joseph H. Low IV today if you have suffered a pedestrian accident injury.
Statistics show that the most common factors contributing to pedestrian accidents are:
- An inattentive or pre-occupied driver;
- A driver's failure to observe posted speed limits;
- A driver's failure to yield the right of way to pedestrians at marked cross walks;
- A driver negligently turning at an intersection;
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Pedestrians who are hit by motor vehicles may have a claim against the driver or owner of a vehicle, but they must prove that the driver's negligence caused the accident in order to recover for those damages.
