Automobile drivers have very specific responsibilities when it comes to
pedestrians with whom they share the road. The driver must operate his vehicle
in a responsible and safe manner, and properly yield to pedestrians, or he would
be considered to be operating a motor vehicle in a negligent manner.
A pedestrian always has the right of way when walking in a crosswalk. But
even if you or a loved one were hit by a car in an area other than a crosswalk,
you may have a valid claim to bring a lawsuit if the other person was at fault
or driving negligently. You are also considered a pedestrian if you are in a bicycle
accident with an automobile.
I can help you get a fair and just settlement from a
Pedestrian Accident Injury. I negotiate with Massachusetts Insurance companies
on behalf of my clients everyday, to fight for a fair settlement for their
injuries, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. You are also eligible for PIP
benefits via the driver of the auto that hit you.
If you've been injured in an accident as a pedestrian in Massachusetts, call
me now at (508)588-5010 to set up a free, no-obligation case consultation.
Sincerely,
David Reservitz, Massachusetts Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
