Riverside Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Each year, more than 4,000 pedestrians are killed in the United States. Thousands more are injured. Most of these accidents are in urban areas, and more than half of all pedestrian accidents are at night. Not all pedestrian accidents are the fault of the driver that hit the pedestrian. Pedestrians must follow rules regarding right-of-way at pedestrian crossings and not “jaywalk” or walk on highways and roads that prohibit pedestrians. Exercising caution and care can prevent some, but not all, pedestrian accidents.

Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Just like automobile drivers, a walker or jogger has a responsibility to exercise care and adhere to traffic laws.  However, even at intersections and crosswalks, pedestrians are frequently struck by negligent and distracted drivers. Pedestrians are especially vulnerable to being hit by a car in the evening hours at dusk, when drivers may not have turned on their headlights and may not see a person on foot. Small children walking to school are also at risk for being hit by a car. Slower moving elderly pedestrians are also frequently struck by cars, as drivers may anticipate they will cross a road faster than expected.

If you or a member of your family has been injured in a Riverside area pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.  Pedestrian accident lawyers at Estey & Bomberger, LLP offer free and confidential case evaluations for those hurt in pedestrian accidents. 

Alcohol-Related Pedestrian Accidents

Alcohol consumption can be a dangerous factor for pedestrians as well as automobile drivers. Nearly a third of pedestrian fatality accidents involve intoxicated pedestrians, and close to 20% of pedestrian fatality accidents involve intoxicated automobile drivers.

Riverside Pedestrian Accident Injuries

Any accident involving a pedestrian and an automobile is potentially very serious. Pedestrians are not protected like automobile drivers and passengers by seatbelts, airbags, and the steel cage of an automobile.  And unlike many bicyclists and motorcyclists, pedestrians do not usually wear helmets.  If struck by a motorcycle, bicycle, automobile or truck, a pedestrian may be at risk or many types of serious or catastrophic injuries, including:
