Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
Serving Central Florida including Winter Garden, Apopka, Clermont, Inverness, and Leesburg
When a pedestrian is struck down by a car, bus or SUV, the first thought for many is, “Who was at fault in the pedestrian accident?”
There are clear cases of pedestrian error such as when a child darts out into the street, or a pedestrian was outside of the crosswalk lines and in a dangerous spot. But many times, even if the pedestrian was somewhere he shouldn’t have been, a driver can be held responsible for hitting a person due to lack of defensive driving or failure to acknowledge a pedestrian in the process of crossing.
And then there are the clear cases of driver error – for example, when drivers roll through pedestrian crosswalks without looking both ways, ignore stop signs and red or yellow lights, drive while intoxicated, pass a school bus, and other careless acts.
Because pedestrian accidents often involve severe brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other debilitating injuries, it is important to hire a central Florida accident lawyer who understands how these injuries can disrupt the lives of the victims and their family members.
