PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Vulnerable road users such as pedestrians face danger every day. While all road users must remain cautious, the primary responsibility often lies with drivers.

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

Pedestrian accidents are frequently linked to distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield the right-of-way.

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

“Factors such as roadway conditions, visibility, and lighting must all be carefully evaluated,” Bond added. “These steps are essential to ensure victims and their families can pursue the justice they deserve.”

Bond further noted, “In many cases, pedestrians have the right-of-way when crossing streets, even outside marked crosswalks. Drivers are expected to yield to pedestrians at all times.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

The victim may be eligible to pursue a personal injury claim as the investigation continues.

Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal, explained, “Injured victims involved in collisions often pursue personal injury claims to recover damages such as medical expenses, ongoing care, lost wages, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.”

“Insurance providers are often reluctant to fully account for the growing financial burden faced by victims. An experienced attorney can advocate on their behalf and help ensure accountability,” Bond added.

Attorneys play a vital role in protecting the rights of injured victims and helping them secure fair compensation following serious accidents.
