Johnny Baptiste struck by speeding car in Miami Gardens crash

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Pedestrians remain among the most vulnerable road users, facing daily risks on roadways. While everyone must exercise caution, drivers carry a significant share of responsibility.

In 2018, approximately 150,000 pedestrians were injured in motor vehicle crashes, according to the National Safety Council.

Common causes of pedestrian accidents include distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield.

“Having adequate resources is critical when investigating a pedestrian crash and establishing negligence,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst for Accident Injury News.

“Factors such as roadway conditions, visibility, and lighting must be thoroughly evaluated,” Bond added. “These steps are essential in helping victims or their families obtain the justice they deserve.”

Bond further emphasized, “In most cases, pedestrians have the right-of-way when crossing a street or intersection, even outside marked crosswalks, and drivers are required to yield.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Johnny Baptiste may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit pending the results of the investigation.

Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal, stated, “Victims injured in collisions often pursue personal injury claims to recover costs related to medical treatment, future care, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance companies are often unconcerned with the growing expenses faced by victims. An attorney can make a difference by advocating for fair compensation and holding insurers accountable,” Formica added.
