Rising Incidents and Alarming Trends
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports a worrying increase in pedestrian fatalities and injuries. In the United States alone, a pedestrian is killed every 66 minutes in traffic crashes. Busy intersections, lack of proper crosswalks, and distracted driving significantly contribute to these accidents.
An estimated 104,000 pedestrians were treated in emergency departments for nonfatal crash-related injuries. This alarming data highlights the urgent need for effective legal representation in such cases.
Who Is Responsible for the Pedestrian Accident?
Determining responsibility in a pedestrian accident can be a complex process. Several parties could be at fault, including the driver of the vehicle, the pedestrian, and even the entity responsible for maintaining the roadway or sidewalk. At The Baum Law Firm, we meticulously investigate every aspect of your case to identify all potential sources of liability.
- The Driver: Often, the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident is at fault. This could be due to various reasons, such as reckless driving, speed, failure to yield, or impaired driving.
- The Pedestrian: In some cases, the pedestrian might be partially or wholly at fault. This could involve jaywalking, walking along highways, or darting in front of a vehicle.
- City or State Governments: If the accident was due to poorly maintained roads, lack of proper signage, or faulty traffic control devices, the city or state government might be held accountable.
- Construction Companies: The construction company may be held liable when the accident occurred in a construction zone with inadequate signage or barriers.
Accidents are not black and white, and determining fault can be complex, but you don’t need to face it alone. Trust our experienced attorneys at The Baum Law Firm to fight for the compensation you deserve.
