Pedestrians are continuously at risk on Ohio roads. Common causes of pedestrian-vehicle accidents include:
When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the latter is often blamed for the accident. Pointing the finger at the pedestrian is an insurance company trick that alleges pedestrians should always be paying attention to traffic and should be able to nimbly get out of the way of an approaching vehicle. In the law, the opposite is true: Drivers need to pay close attention to pedestrians and do whatever they can to avoid hitting them.
While every pedestrian accident case is different, some of the common types of damages that may be recoverable include:
In some cases, punitive damages may also be available. These are designed to punish the at-fault driver for particularly reckless or negligent behavior and to act as a deterrent for similar behavior in the future. To learn more about what types of damages may be available in your case, call our law firm today to speak with an experienced Dayton pedestrian accident attorney.
