While the causes of these accidents are about as varied as their effects, in most cases, these collisions can be traced back to some type of driver negligence. Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
Depending on the circumstances, there may be multiple parties liable for your injuries, including the driver of the vehicle that hit you or even the party responsible for maintaining the sidewalk, road, or parking lot where your accident occurred.
