Riverside Pedestrian Accidents Attorney
The majority of accidents involving pedestrians are due to negligence of drivers. The drivers may not be paying attention to the road, or they may not be following the rules of the road. The force of the impact may throw the pedestrian into traffic, which can cause even more severe injuries.
Drunken drivers and those who are on drugs account for a number of these types of accidents. Many pedestrians are involved in accidents at night or at other times when poor visibility can affect a driver.
Intersections are one of the biggest danger zones for pedestrians, and a large number of fatal accidents happen in crosswalks. Drivers who are not paying attention may claim that they never saw the pedestrian. However, they are still liable for damages.
Other types of accidents can cause personal injuries to pedestrians and joggers as well. If the sidewalk is in poor shape and poorly maintained, falls can occur. Falls can twist ankles, break bones, and they can cause head injuries. Parking lots are another location where accidents involving pedestrians occur. From holes in the parking lot to drivers hitting a pedestrian in the lot, there are many ways for accidents to happen.
Just as pedestrians should exercise reasonable care when they are walking or jogging along sidewalks and crossing streets, drivers must be careful as well. When a motor vehicle hits a person, the pedestrian is always going to come out of the battle the loser. The injuries in these types of accidents can be severe and life threatening.
