FAQs
Can a Pedestrian Be at Fault in a Car Pedestrian Accident?
A pedestrian can be at fault for a car pedestrian accident despite the fact that motor vehicles must always yield to pedestrians on the road. Pedestrians are still responsible for ensuring they are following the rules of the road as well. Some of the most common situations where a pedestrian can be found at fault are:
- A pedestrian was crossing against the traffic signal
- A pedestrian was crossing the road outside a crosswalk
- A pedestrian was walking where pedestrian access is clearly not allowed
Pedestrian accident liability can be complex since there are many factors that need to be considered. If you have been injured, contact our firm today to get started on your case.
