Pedestrian fatalities can raise serious questions about liability, roadway safety, and negligence. Families who lose loved ones in pedestrian accidents may have the right to pursue wrongful death claims against responsible parties. Pedestrian cases can be complex, requiring careful investigation into potential driver errors, roadway hazards, or other contributing factors. Unfortunately, when a pedestrian is fatally struck by a vehicle, the pedestrian is often put at fault in the police report because they cannot tell their side of the story.
