Fault And Pedestrian Accidents In Ohio

Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks, whether they are marked or not. You have the right to cross the street at an intersection as long as you do not cross against a traffic control device.

Unfortunately, the driver of the motor vehicle is often the first to tell police his or her version of how the accident happened. The pedestrian is usually too injured to say anything. As a result, the driver may claim that the pedestrian was outside of the crosswalk or crossing against the light even when this was not the case.

Our lawyers know how to conduct in-depth investigation that will uncover the truth of what happened. We will examine skid marks, vehicle damage, eyewitness accounts, intersection cameras and other evidence to support your case. Cellphone records may reveal whether the driver was distracted at the time of the accident.

Even if you were outside a crosswalk when the vehicle struck you, the driver is required to stop if he or she could have or should have seen you.
