Pedestrians have specific rights under the law when they are on a sidewalk, or crossing the street in a crosswalk or at a corner. People who walk or run for exercise have a right to be on sidewalks and to cross streets. It is the responsibility of every motorist to recognize and respect them. When they fail to do so, it can lead to serious accidents that result in life-changing injuries to pedestrians. Victims have a right to be fully compensated for their losses when another party's negligence has caused their injuries.
These cases can be difficult to prove, and the insurance companies are notoriously resistant to paying the claims. If you were crossing the street and injured by a negligent motorist, you should have your case reviewed by a reliable Arizona personal injury attorney as soon as possible. At the law firm of Steve German, A Law Firm, our pedestrian accident attorneys offer our clients more than 60 years of combined experience in serious motor vehicle accident claims.
