Even if the situation determines that a pedestrian has the right of way, this does not mean a pedestrian has free range of the streets at any time. A pedestrian must always proceed with caution, even when crossing in a marked crosswalk with a green “WALK” sign. There are many factors which can come into play in a pedestrian accident.

Q. Who will pay for my medical bills after I am injured in a pedestrian accident?

This can vary depending on your insurance situation, but if both parties are insured have exchanged insurance information after an accident you have the right to file a claim against the motor vehicle driver’s insurance policy. You may also be able to collect from your own policy under the full or limited tort option.
