Your Injury, Our Fight. How can we help you take a stand?

What are the Most Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in North Carolina?

Drivers often give little weight to the laws that state pedestrians have the right of way.

Whether motorists are in a hurry, and simply turn before the walker or jogger reaches their side of the street, or if they go around other cars that are stopped at crosswalks, it is the pedestrian who is going to get hurt.

Common causes of pedestrian accidents in North Carolina include:

  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving
  • Fatigued driving
  • Making improper turns
  • Drivers disregarding traffic patterns
  • Failing to obey traffic signs and signals
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Failing to stop or yield at a pedestrian right of way, including crosswalks
  • Entering, exiting, or reversing structures, garages, or parking lots without checking for pedestrians

Sadly, when drivers do collide with a pedestrian, it is the person or people who are hit that suffer catastrophic injuries or who cannot survive the crash.

Our skilled Charlotte personal injury lawyers will review the details of your unique case to ensure we are pursuing the negligent party for your complete financial recovery.

What Type of Financial Compensation Can I Pursue After a Pedestrian Accident in North Carolina?
