Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

One of the main reasons personal injury lawyers receive pedestrian accident cases is due to the fact that most drivers don’t see the pedestrian due to weather conditions, because it is dark out, or the type of clothing the pedestrian is wearing. In fact, nearly 50 percent of all pedestrian accidents happen on the weekends and 70 percent occur at night, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
