Liability for Greenlawn Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians lack the protection of enclosed vehicles and are more likely to be seriously injured in a crash. According to the NHTSA, “Pedestrian fatalities per year steadily decreased from the late 1970s to 2009 when the United States reached a low of 4,109 deaths (Reish, 2021; Schneider, 2020). However, the number of pedestrian fatalities has increased since 2009, leading to a 5-year average of 6,502 pedestrian deaths during the 5 most recent years (2017 to 2021).”Drivers should take a number of actions to avoid any pedestrians.

• Drivers should continuously scan the road ahead of them for hazards.
• Drivers should slow down in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic.
• Drivers should use their horns when necessary to alert pedestrians of their presence.

When a driver fails to slow down to avoid hitting a pedestrian in the roadway, they could be liable for any resulting injuries through a personal injury claim. What matters is whether or not a driver was acting negligently. Determining liability for any pedestrian accident can be difficult. The unique circumstances of a crash matter. Any person injured due to the negligent actions of a driver may be able to pursue some measure of justice through a personal injury claim.
