Southfield, MI personal injury attorney Johnny Hawkins talks about the biggest challenges faced in pedestrian accident cases. In cases involving pedestrian accidents, the primary challenge lies in demonstrating that the pedestrian is not at fault for the incident and that they took all necessary precautions to avoid injury. This poses a paradox as many laws prioritize the pedestrian’s right of way. However, when a pedestrian is outside the designated crosswalk, questions often arise about whether it was a case of darting into traffic. The critical inquiry revolves around whether the pedestrian acted responsibly and provided adequate notice of their intentions, particularly when not in the crosswalk. The central task becomes proving that the pedestrian conducted themselves in a manner consistent with safely crossing the street.
