Addison Worwood Hurt in Johnson City Pedestrian Accident

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, face dangers every day. Although everyone must exercise caution, drivers carry the primary responsibility for avoiding collisions with pedestrians.

In 2018, motor vehicles injured an additional 150,000 pedestrians, according to the National Safety Council.

Pedestrian crashes are often caused by distracted driving, speeding, and failing to yield to pedestrians.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” added Bond. “These procedures are necessary for helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice that they deserve.”

Bond stressed, “In most instances, pedestrians possess the right-of-way when crossing an intersection or a street, regardless if they are in a marked crosswalk. A driver must yield to any pedestrian.”

 

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

A victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury suit while an investigation is pending.

Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal, said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with mounting expenses that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” Formica added.
