We have all experienced it. You are crossing the road legally in a crosswalk, or walking carefully through a store parking lot, and you suddenly have to leap out of the way of a speeding distracted driver who misses you by inches.
Often, we are lucky, and we see the careless driver in time. But sometimes careless drivers hit pedestrians who are walking carefully in lawfully designated areas.
When this happens, the consequences can be catastrophic, including death, or injuries to the brain, spine, or limbs.
According to a recent report by the Governors Highway Safety Association Arizona had the nation’s second-highest rate of pedestrian fatalities.
There are specific statutes, regulations, and cases that deal with the duties of vehicle operators to avoid striking pedestrians. John Evans, with his skill and experience, applies the law to hold a careless driver who has injured a pedestrian accountable for the injuries and harm that they cause.
If you have been struck by a vehicle while a pedestrian and have experienced injury, please call John Evans, Attorney at Law, at 480-573-0600 for a free consultation.
