Burlington Pedestrian Kristie Huffines Injured in Crosswalk Crash

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Pedestrians face danger on the road every day as vulnerable road users. While everyone shares a responsibility to exercise care, the greater burden falls on drivers.

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

Pedestrian crashes are frequently caused by distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield to a pedestrian.

“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,” Bond added. “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 of whether they are in a marked crosswalk. A driver must yield to any pedestrian.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the results of the investigation, Kristie Huffines may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim.

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.
