What Causes Pedestrian Accidents?

A pedestrian accident may be caused by any type of driver negligence or by a defective automobile part or dangerous intersection. Determining what caused your accident is an important part of the legal representation that your injury attorney will provide, as this is how you will establish the other party's fault and have the opportunity of recovering full financial compensation.

Common causes of pedestrian accidents caused by vehicles and motorists include:

• Vehicle manufacturing defects (e.g., faulty brakes)
• Driving while distracted (texting and driving, etc.)
• Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
• Speeding and other reckless or aggressive driving
• Failing to yield the right of way
• Failing to check one’s surroundings before backing out
• Driving after dark
• Disregarding traffic signs and signals
