Pedestrian Accident Causes

A pedestrian accident usually occurs because of driver negligence. Drivers have a responsibility to be aware of pedestrians, yield the right-of-way in crosswalks and other designated areas, and to take reasonable steps to avoid placing pedestrians in harm's way even when pedestrians mistakenly enter the roadway. A driver who fails to live up to these responsibilities can cause a devastating pedestrian accident that leaves the victim with serious injuries that may require a lifetime of care.

Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:

• Driver inattention or distraction
• Exceeding the speed limit
• Traveling too fast for the conditions
• Failing to recognize the pedestrian's right-of-way
• Running a stop sign or red light
• Intruding upon a crosswalk
• Driving under the influence of alcohol
