Common Forms Of Negligence in Pedestrian Accidents
When pedestrians get hurt, it is often due to driver negligence. Common examples include speeding, not yielding, being distracted or intoxicated. Out-of-town drivers unfamiliar with the roads can also be at fault. Still, others can be at fault as well. The negligence can include a municipality with a dangerous or malfunctioning crosswalk signal and bicyclists not following the posted rules. It can also be property owners or businesses with poorly designed or maintained walkways that put walkers at risk.
