PEDESTRIANS INJURED BY MOTOR VEHICLES

Car drivers are obliged by law to keep a proper look-out for pedestrians using the roadway. This includes bicyclists and walkers, young and old. In a car versus pedestrian scenario, the pedestrian is often the recipient of significant bodily injuries. Just because a police officer or insurance representative tells you it’s the pedestrian’s fault, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a true or accurate representation of the law. Even a police officer’s motor vehicle accident report is not the final word in such collisions. Determining fault in an auto versus pedestrian collision requires a review of all the specific circumstances surrounding that incident.
