Many pedestrian injuries occur because of a collision with a car, truck, motorcycle, or another type of motor vehicle. However, drivers are not the only parties that can cause a pedestrian accident. The following are some common causes of this type of accident:
Distracted driving;
Drivers who fail to yield at crosswalks;
Improper turns at intersections with crosswalks;
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
Improperly timed traffic and walk signals;
Dangerously designed intersections;
Defects in the sidewalk or on property;
Objects falling from windows or buildings.
If your pedestrian accident occurred due to any type of negligence, you have the right to hold the negligent party or parties liable for your injury-related losses.
