Motorists have a responsibility to drive in a safe and observant
manner and to adhere to all traffic laws. However, every day
pedestrians are killed or seriously injured as a result of driver
negligence. Often, drivers fail to notice a pedestrian in the road
because their attention is diverted by a CD player, a cell phone, or
some other distraction. Other common pedestrian accident causes include:
- Failure to stop at a crosswalk
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Failure to come to a stop at a traffic light or sign
- Failure to stop before turning right at a red light
- Failure to adhere to the speed limit in residential areas
