Hit by a Car in Arizona? We Can Help.
Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable to injury in motor vehicle accidents. Any time pedestrians are nearby, drivers have a responsibility to drive especially carefully. Unfortunately, some of them do not live up to their responsibilities and end up causing serious accidents.
At The Leader Law Firm, in association with Aiken & Scoptur, our Tucson pedestrian accident attorneys help accident victims and their families hold negligent drivers accountable. For a free consultation with an experienced personal injury lawyer, contact us today.
Pursuing Fair Compensation From Negligent Drivers
In Arizona, the drivers of cars, trucks and other motor vehicles have a general responsibility to show due care for the safety of pedestrians. Our firm helps injured pedestrians pursue compensation for accidents that occur in all types of circumstances, including the following:
- Roadside accidents: In many parts of Arizona, sidewalks are few and far between. Where there are no sidewalks, pedestrians have every right to walk alongside the road, and drivers have a responsibility to keep an eye out for them and avoid accidents.
- Crosswalk accidents: In Arizona, pedestrians have the right of way at marked crosswalks, including crosswalks with yellow signs and crosswalks at traffic lights. Crosswalk accidents are almost always considered the driver's fault.
- Jaywalking accidents: Jaywalking may violate traffic rules, but that does not give a driver the right to hit a pedestrian. Drivers must drive cautiously and take reasonable steps to avoid pedestrian accidents, even when they have the right of way.
Our experience and reputation enable us to negotiate from a position of strength on behalf of accident victims and their families. The auto insurance companies know that if we are handling a case, we are prepared to take it to trial if necessary to stand up for our clients' rights.
If you have been seriously injured or have lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident, do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your case with an experienced personal injury trial lawyer.
