Indiana Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Motorists have a responsibility to drive in a safe and observant manner and to adhere to all traffic laws. Every day, pedestrians and bicycle riders are killed or seriously injured as the result of negligence or recklessness on the part of car and truck drivers.

Commonly, drivers fail to notice a pedestrian in the road because they are distracted by a cell phone, CD player or some other diversion. Accidents caused by negligent drivers account for the majority of catastrophic injuries and death. Other causes of pedestrian accidents include:

  • Failure to yield the right of way
  • Failure to come to a stop at a traffic sign or light
  • Failure to stop prior to turning right on a red light at an intersection
  • Failure to stop at a crosswalk
  • Failure to adhere to the speed limit in residential areas
  • Failure to exercise reasonable caution to avoid accidents

If you have been injured in a serious pedestrian or bicycle accident, our personal injury attorneys will defend your rights as a victim. We will hold negligent, reckless or careless drivers accountable for their actions.
