What Rights Do Pedestrians Have?
If you are a pedestrian involved in a car accident, it is important to remember that you have rights in this situation. Pedestrians have fundamental rights in the event of a car accident, rooted in the duty of care owed to them by drivers on the road.
One of the primary rights pedestrians possess is the right to safety and protection from harm while walking on or crossing the road. Drivers are obligated to exercise necessary caution to avoid colliding with pedestrians. While these rights can vary slightly depending on local laws and ordinances, here are some common pedestrian rights:
- Right of Way in Crosswalks
- Sidewalk Use
- Crossing at Intersections
- Safety at Crossings
- Accessibility
- Prohibiting Obstruction
What Are Pedestrians' Responsibilities on the Road?
While pedestrians generally have the right of way in specific situations, there are circumstances where they may not be covered by the right of way or may be found liable for accidents involving vehicles including:
- Jaywalking
- Ignoring Traffic Signals
- Entering Traffic Unsafely
- Impairment
- Hitchhiking
Why Consider Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney?
After an accident, you might think that you have nothing to worry about. After all, you have insurance. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Insurance companies are working in the best interest of themselves, not their policyholders. Your agency will look for anyway out of paying expensive medical bills or other necessary treatments. Having an experienced attorney ensures you have someone advocating for your best interests. We can help navigate the complexities, negotiate with insurance companies, and even take matters to court if necessary.
