Pedestrian Collision & Driver Negligence; The Hammer Responds To Every Accident

One death after every seventy-five minutes on roads may shock you for a moment but it’s the scary truth. 

Pedestrian accidents are an absolute curse on the rise, induced by negligence, the lack of guidance about the crosswalks and the insufficient knowledge in the terms & conditions of accidents. 

That is the reason why every second home in America suffers injury or loss of loved ones which is incredibly upsetting. Of course, the blame could easily be thrown to both parties involved; driver and victim.

However, this question arises frequently; can a lawsuit still be filed when a pedestrian gets injured by a commercial vehicle that’s crossing the road improperly?

If you’re an accident attorney, this question may seem ludicrous, but if you’re an injured pedestrian, you’re probably eager to find out the answer.

Here’s the thing; everyone in the world has responsibilities— the driver, pedestrian and even the traffic police. In short, each one of us is accountable for our deeds. 

So, if there’s an accident, the driver is also held accountable. Therefore, you can freely file a case and get compensated for any damages inflicted. 

There are some cases though when the driver claims to have acted without malice, and have not seen the victim when the accident happened. 

Yes! This can definitely be the case. 

But when nobody wants to take accountability, the best possible way to know the truth is to look out for witnesses, recreate the scenario with an investigator, and supervise it accordingly. 

A legal action can be pushed through, but still, it would be difficult to find the answer without knowing more about the facts. 

Besides that, what will you do then if the pedestrian dies in the accident?

It will be a tough period to initiate legal proceedings. But the best response is an immediate action before the driver can flee the city or create false scenarios, making it impossible for the family to locate him and file a lawsuit.
