Determining Liability In A Jaywalking Accident
Jaywalking is dangerous and is a crime in Delaware. However, liability in a jaywalking accident may not always fall on the pedestrian. Each jaywalking accident case is unique. If the driver was intoxicated, texting while driving, driving inattentively, speeding or driving recklessly the liability may fall on them in court. Even if they were driving safely and attentively they may have had enough time to swerve to avoid hitting you. Perhaps they had the last clear chance to avoid the accident but did not. A Delaware Traffic Accident lawyer can help you determine who is at fault and what benefits you may be entitled to.
Injuries Sustained In A Jaywalking Accident
Jaywalking accident injuries, as well as any pedestrian accident injuries, can result in devastating and life threatening injuries. This is due to the fact that the body is incredibly exposed and vulnerable in a jaywalking accident. As you are not in a vehicle there is no metal around you to protect you. Injuries to the hips and pelvic region are common as that is typically the area that absorbs the impact of the collision. Soft tissue injuries, broken bones, central nervous system injuries, paralysis and wrongful death are often the result of a pedestrian accident.
