Who Is Responsible for a Pedestrian Accident in Carrollton?
Pedestrian accidents generally result from negligence. When someone fails to act in a way that another reasonable person would in the same circumstances, they are negligent. Many instances of negligence can lead to pedestrian accidents, and our team serving Carrollton will identify any negligence in your case.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) identifies several risk factors for pedestrian accidents, including:
- Driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
- Speeding
- Ignoring the pedestrian’s right-of-way, including at crosswalks
- Passing vehicles that are stopped at a crosswalk
- Failing to use caution when backing up
In these and certain other instances, a motorist would generally be liable for a resulting pedestrian accident. In other instances—like vehicle malfunctions—another party might be liable.
Underwood Law Office is interested in getting justice for you, and we must determine liability to do so.
