What Causes Most Pedestrian Accidents in Tyler, Texas?

Negligence can play a substantial role in pedestrian accidents. It could be the negligence of the motorist, pedestrian, manufacturers, or others that can cause the accident. Sometimes actions go beyond negligence into law-breaking.

A Tyler pedestrian attorney can help you understand your legal rights and options if a vehicle has hit you.

Motorist Negligence

Pedestrian Negligence

Manufacturer Negligence

Poor Road Design & Governance Negligence

Motorist Negligence

Sometimes pedestrians can be hard to see, and drivers may be distracted due to blind spots or traffic. Drivers could also hit pedestrians when they don’t see them coming. Additionally, drivers may hit pedestrians when:

They are impaired: Intoxication, fatigue, and distraction mean motorists may not notice pedestrians until it’s too late.
They violate traffic laws: Drivers are also at risk for collisions with pedestrians when they do not follow traffic laws and run red lights or make an unexpected turn.

With negligent drivers and pedestrian accidents, it’s important to know that:

More than one person can be at fault.
Sometimes it’s unclear if driver negligence caused or merely contributed to the accident.

A Tyler pedestrian injury attorney at Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers will determine if the driver was negligent and who is liable for your injury. We can help walk you through the entire legal process while offering advice every step of the way.

Pedestrian Negligence

Pedestrians can be negligent, too. Sometimes pedestrians cause accidents. However, if they are partly to blame, they may still be entitled to compensation if someone else is more at fault for causing the accident. It’s possible that another party, like the police or an insurance agency, may have told you how at fault you were in the accident. It is crucial to understand that these parties are not always correct; pedestrians can be wrongly accused of causing accidents. This is just one reason why it is crucial to hire a Tyler pedestrian injury lawyer if you’ve been hurt. Your lawyer will verify or correct any previous fault determinations.

Manufacturer Negligence

Vehicle-related incidents can lead to pedestrian accidents. Tire blowouts, brake failures, unsecured cargo, and other problems can cause drivers to lose control and injure pedestrians. Companies, like vehicle manufacturers, could be liable for defective equipment or improper maintenance that contributes to an accident.

Poor Road Design & Governance Negligence

The design of roads and traffic features can contribute to keeping pedestrians safe — likewise, a poor design could contribute to their vulnerability. Some issues can create unsafe conditions that may lead to pedestrian accidents. For example:

Lack of sidewalks and crosswalks
Missing or broken traffic signs
Poorly placed intersections or signs
Blind, sharp, and sudden turns
Poorly designed roadway work zones
Lack of lighting on the roads

If the courts find that any counties, cities, or a third party caused an accident by failing to take adequate corrective action on an unsafe roadway, they can be held liable for the ensuing damages.

Talking with a Tyler pedestrian injury lawyer will help you determine if you have a case and what steps you need to take next.

A strong pedestrian accident lawyer can help protect you against these pitfalls. Your lawyer will conduct discovery, investigations, and deal with insurance companies, among many other tasks. Your Tyler pedestrian injury lawyer will make a significant difference in the success of your case and the compensation that you receive.

What Compensation Is Available for Pedestrian Injury Claims & Victims?

If you or a loved one has been the victim of a pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to compensation for economic and non-economic damages. The exact damages you qualify for will vary from claim to claim, depending on your suffering, pain, injuries, and other losses. Sensitive and complex calculations are necessary to receive compensation after a pedestrian accident.
