PBSO: Michael Rosenblatt Injured in Vehicle vs. Pedestrian Crash

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Vulnerable road users like pedestrians face danger every day. While everyone is advised to exercise caution, the burden of responsibility largely falls on those driving or riding in vehicles.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 140,000 pedestrians were injured in crashes and transported to local emergency rooms in 2022. These crashes are often caused by factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and failing to yield to a pedestrian.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important in order to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence,” said Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney and a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

Bond stressed: “In most instances, pedestrians possess the right of way when crossing an intersection or a street regardless of if they are in a marked crosswalk. It is always a driver’s duty to yield to any pedestrian.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

“It is almost always a driver’s duty to yield to any pedestrian,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal. Pending an investigation, Michael Rosenblatt may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Formica noted that the stress from an injury can be overwhelming, disrupting all aspects of life, including family, work, finances, and overall quality of life.

“It is vital for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, which allows them to negotiate with an insurance company for a client,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies often try to pressure victims to settle for a quick payout for far less than the case is worth. However, an attorney will vigorously advocate for their clients to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
