Southfield, MI personal injury attorney Johnny Hawkins talks about the biggest challenges faced in pedestrian accident cases. He notes that in pedestrian accident cases, one of the greatest challenges is establishing that the pedestrian did not contribute to the accident and took all reasonable measures to avoid injury. While most laws provide pedestrians the benefit of the right of way, complications arise when a pedestrian is crossing outside of a marked crosswalk. In such instances, it becomes necessary to determine whether the pedestrian acted responsibly—whether their actions were deliberate and cautious enough to provide notice to drivers of their intentions. The key issue in these cases is demonstrating that the pedestrian exercised appropriate care and followed safe practices when navigating the roadway.
