Vehicle Accident : Pedestrian Accident

Who has the right of way – and who is the most vulnerable in pedestrian accidents?

School Aged Children and Elderly Citizens Are the Most Vulnerable to be Hit by Cars

A sad statistic is that 41% of pedestrian fatalities nationwide occur between 3:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon - the time when most school bells ring and kids are running home and escaping school. Accidents occur all too frequently in school zones, cross-walks, streets, alleys, drive-ways, and sidewalks. Typically, these accidents occur because

Drivers are distracted. Drivers are too busy texting, talking on a cell phone, eating, playing with their music players, or putting on makeup. Drivers who engage in any of these activities are prone to take their eyes off the road and run red lights, drive too fast through a school-zone, fail to stop when a child or elderly person walks in front of their vehicle, or avoid an accident.
Drivers are intoxicated. Studies suggest that approximately one-third of all fatal accidents involve alcohol.
Speeding. Excess speed can cause serious and catastrophic injuries. Damages are significantly much more severe because the force of impact is far greater in an accident with an increased rate of speed.
School zone speed limits and now new laws designed to keep people off their cell phones and from texting may keep people's eyes on the road. But, unfortunately, drivers fail to adhere to the laws of the road and drive in a safe and observant manner at all times. As a result, pedestrians are injured and killed every day due to a driver's inattention.

When Hiring an Attorney

When selecting an attorney to represent you and/or your loved ones, it is important to know how many victims your potential lawyer has represented. We always encourage you to speak to speak with as many lawyers until you feel comfortable – after all, the lawyer you hire should answer your questions, be available to speak with you and provide you with clear, honest and direct answers.

Ask the lawyer you are thinking about hiring:

Whether he or she has ever been recognized as one of the best attorneys in their field by his or her peers
What type of ratings they have attained from Martindale Hubbell or AVVO
Whether he or she has handled the particular type of case in which you want to hire him for
Whether he or she has ever written any books on the subject for which you are hiring them
How often they are called upon the press and news media to provide analysis on the issues involved in the type of case you want to hire him or her
