Liability for Brentwood Car Accidents
Pedestrians lack the protection of enclosed vehicles and are much more likely to be seriously injured or killed in the event of a crash. According to the National Safety Council, “on the open road (75%) versus intersections (25%), and during dark conditions with or without artificial lighting (74%). The largest number of pedestrian deaths occurred on Fridays (1,095), closely followed by Saturdays (1,103).” Multiple steps should be taken after any pedestrian collision.
- The police report created after the collisions should be sought.
- Medical records related to the victim’s injuries should be reviewed.
- Any person that may have witnessed the collision should be interviewed.
- The family of any person who died should be interviewed.
If a driver fails to slow down to avoid hitting any pedestrian, this could be construed as negligence. Even if a pedestrian is in the middle of the road, this does not remove a driver’s duty of care to use caution. Any person injured in a pedestrian accident is protected by a number of laws. They or their surviving family members are able to pursue some measure of accountability through a civil claim.
