Wrongful Death From Pedestrian Accidents
A pedestrian accident is when a pedestrian is struck by a moving vehicle or an object that a vehicle has hit towards them. These usually end in serious injuries, such as broken bones, internal bleeding, ruptured organs, or even death. This is due to the substantial impact of a vehicle being forced against a person simply walking on the street without protection. When these situations end in a death, the family is faced with the tragic situation of losing a loved one. However, in certain cases, you can seek justice for who you have lost and be awarded damages for what you have endured. In these cases, you may consider pursuing a wrongful death case.
Knowing that a loved one has died from a pedestrian accident can be a very harsh pill to swallow. There are typically serious injuries or complications involved that led to the death, if it did not occur at the scene. Pedestrians should have the right of way when they have a crosswalk or are at a traffic light telling them they can walk. If a vehicle acted negligently and did not respect the conditions giving pedestrians the right of way, then they could be sued for wrongful death. Additionally, if the pedestrian was walking alongside a continuous sidewalk and was struck by one car straying from the road, there would almost certainly be a case for wrongful death.
