The Phoenix metropolitan area isn’t known for great public transportation – the streets of the city were designed with motor vehicle traffic in mind, and are more suitable for cars, motorcycle, buses and trucks than for pedestrians. In fact, a recent national index of places where pedestrians are more likely to be hit or killed by a vehicle rated Arizona and the Phoenix area in the top 10.
If you are injured in a pedestrian accident caused by the negligence of someone else, that person is legally responsible for your injuries. Avrek Law Firm’s pedestrian accident attorneys in Phoenix have helped victims of accidents in Phoenix and the rest of Arizona to ensure they receive the maximum compensation they deserve.
Top Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Phoenix
With so many distracted drivers and drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol on the streets of Phoenix and across Arizona, pedestrian accidents are on the rise. There are three main types of pedestrian accidents:
- The driver did not give the right of way to the pedestrian at a crosswalk.
- Hit and run accidents.
- The driver did not stop completely at a stop sign.
If you suffered injuries as a result of a pedestrian accident, you should consider consulting with a lawyer with experience and knowledge in this specific type of accident.
