Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Philadelphia

Pedestrians observing the law have every right to expect their safety on public streets. Yet even those obeying traffic laws are sometimes injured by motor vehicles. While the walkability of Philadelphia, PA, makes it an attractive location for many most fatal pedestrian accidents occur in urban areas because of the sheer volume of pedestrians.

Everyone is taught from a young age to look both ways for oncoming cars and to be aware of our surroundings at all times while walking on a public street. But while we all know the risks, nobody expects to be hit by an oncoming car as they are crossing the street. When it happens, the results are often disastrous.

The human body is unprepared to deal with the physical trauma resulting from thousands of pounds of metal hitting it, possibly at tremendous speed. As a result, pedestrian accident victims struck by a vehicle often sustain very serious pedestrian accident injuries, which leads to:

• Considerable physical pain,
• Enormous amounts of medical bills,
• Loss of wages/ability to work,
• Permanently reduced quality of life.

In a worst-case scenario, Personal Injuries resulting from a Pedestrian Accident are fatal. When such a tragedy occurs, the loved ones of the victim are left devastated.

The more severe the injuries, the more serious the need for the victim or their loved ones to receive financial compensation to recover from this tragedy and move forward with their lives as much as possible. Holding the at-fault driver responsible for his/her negligent or reckless behavior is also important. To achieve this, you will need the assistance of a skilled and dedicated Philadelphia Pedestrian Accident Attorney with extensive experience handling these personal injury cases.

There are several principles that govern the right of way law in Pennsylvania. Drivers must yield the right of way to pedestrians at:

• Crosswalks (marked or unmarked),
• Intersections,
• Driveways, Alleys,
• And private roads.

Drivers may not block crosswalks under any circumstances. Furthermore, when exiting a driveway, all drivers are required to come to a complete stop before driving over the sidewalk area.
