Improper left-hand turns make up a significant and surprising percentage of traffic accidents involving pedestrians: an estimated one in four pedestrian accidents, according to a 2015 study.
These accidents can occur in a few ways, the most common of which – and one which we are making widespread efforts to mitigate – is when a driver at a green light is turning left while a pedestrian, moving parallel, is crossing the street with a “Walk” sign. While both are permitted to move through that area at that time, the driver is typically responsible for yielding if the pedestrian is crossing or immediately prepared to do so.
However, pedestrians also remain responsible for exercising due caution and cannot carelessly enter the pathways of moving vehicles, and negligence can apply to pedestrians, as well. If you were the victim of an accident as a pedestrian due to a driver’s negligence, our experienced injury attorneys will fight for full compensation for your injuries and losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
