Tucson Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

When it comes to collisions involving an automobile and a pedestrian, there is a clear imbalance in the amount of damage each party suffers. Generally, the common adage, “pedestrians have the right of way” is used because of the elevated damage and injures that an unprotected pedestrian faces in the event of a collision. Drivers who fail to exercise reasonable care on the road by not stopping at crosswalks, driving over the posted speed limit, or using their phone while driving are at an increased risk of striking unsuspecting pedestrians and leaving them with serious, lasting injuries. Although it is certainly possible for pedestrians to cause an accident by negligent behaviors like jaywalking, drivers must take extra care to accommodate pedestrians because those hit by a vehicle do not have the necessary safeguards—like airbags and seat belts— that protect drivers. The danger that pedestrians are put in when facing oncoming traffic is so great, that being hit by a car at over 30 mph is likely to cause life-threatening injuries and even fatality.

As a pedestrian, nothing is scarier than being hit by an oncoming car. If you are a pedestrian who has been struck by a car, the Tucson pedestrian accident attorneys at Russo Law Firm understand that this a very painful experience to endure.
