FAQ
Morgan & Morgan
What If I Have a Valid Case?
If your pedestrian accident case is valid, meaning the other party was clearly at fault, or for the most part, we’ll determine whether getting legal representation is the best way to approach the case. If so, we may be able to represent you or a loved one injured due to the other driver’s negligence.
What Amounts to Negligence in Pedestrian Accidents?
When someone, in this case, a driver, who owes you a duty of care fails to fulfill this duty, injuring you or your loved one as a result, this could count as negligence.
What Is “Duty of Care” In a Pedestrian Accident Case?
The phrase “duty of care” describes the legal responsibility one party has over the other. For instance, a driver has the duty of ensuring that they drive carefully and observe all traffic laws. If they fail to do so, causing an accident as a result, this could count as negligence and a breach of duty duty of care.
Keep in mind that as a pedestrian, you also owe motorists a duty of care. It’s your responsibility to ensure that you don’t put yourself in situations that could compromise your safety on the road. For instance, crossing a busy road at the wrong places or not using the sidewalks when you should could be a breach of duty of care.
Are Pedestrian Accident Cases Difficult to Win?
Yes, they actually are. This is because, half of the time, defendants in such cases often try to avoid liability by blaming the injured for the accident. In addition, the laws surrounding these cases are usually complex, not forgetting the strict deadlines and unique circumstances of each case. That said, hiring a competent attorney significantly improves your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome.
