Liability For Rochester Pedestrian Accidents

Car accidents remain one of the leading causes of serious injury and death in the United States. According to the CDC, “More than 7,000 pedestrians were killed on our nation’s roads in crashes involving a motor vehicle in 2020. That’s about one death every 75 minutes. One in six people who died in crashes in 2020 were pedestrians.” There are a number of factors that could contribute to a pedestrian collision.

  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving
  • Driver fatigue
  • Driver intoxication

Every driver has a legal obligation to exercise due care in order to avoid hitting pedestrians. When a driver fails to exercise due care and hits a pedestrian, this could form the basis of a negligence claim. Any person that is injured due to the negligence of another driver may have legal recourse through a bodily injury claim. A pedestrian accident attorney can examine all of the facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
