Pedestrian Wrongful Death Case

 A pedestrian is someone traveling by foot. This is typically thought of as a person walking along a sidewalk or jogging. I have represented the families of deceased loved ones whom were killed in pedestrian car accidents. One of my clients family member was walking across the street when a car traveling approximately 55 miles per hour struck him and killed him. He was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.

In the United States, a pedestrian typically always has the right of way. This is an important assertion because, as I am sure you can imagine, it would be chaos in the streets if a pedestrian did not always have the right of way. When a vehicle strikes a defenseless pedestrian the impact usually results in serious injury. Pedestrian Fatalities in the Commonwealth ranged from 78 to 121 per year from 2013 to 2016.

Some preventative measures that can be taken by pedestrians are:

  1. Wearing reflective gear at night.
  2. Using sidewalks especially when they are available.
  3. Staying to the side of the road, well away from the lane of travel, when sidewalks are not available.
  4. Taking careful watch for motor vehicles.

It is an honor and a privilege to pursue the rights of injured clients and to obtain the compensation a loved one is owed after a deceased love one has passed away after an accident.

 If you are ever in the unfortunate circumstances of needing a car accident lawyer, you will most likely have received a Drivers Exchange of Information. When a person gets into a car accident most of the time the local authorities will respond to the scene. They arrive at the scene assess the situation and issue a drivers exchange of information. Why The Drivers Exchange of Information is Important. When the local authorities arrive on the scene they usually speak to each driver, passengers and any witnesses. The officer will typically collect information about every one they talk to and what the officers findings were. The officer will then put this information in a police report. Generally, the police report is not available immediately and cannot be obtained for a few days or even weeks after the accident.
