Virginia/Carolina Lawyers Discuss Pedestrian & Crosswalk Accidental Injuries
During 2008 one of our personal injury lawyers, Rick Shapiro, settled a case for a pedestrian who was crossing a road (near the intersection) but the road did not have a cross walk or traffic light, and the first personal injury law firm our client called turned his case down--they assumed he must have been partially at fault. Wrong! Rick settled the case after about a year for $100,000. Based on common law in Virginia and in many states, a pedestrian has a right-of-way at a street corner when crossing under circumstances where a car/auto driver has a clear view of the pedestrian. Please see the link to read the entire discussion of laws applying to pedestrians suffering a personal injury especially in a crosswalk or near a street corner.Shapiro, Cooper Lewis & Appleton personal injury law firm is based in Virginia practicing primarily in the southeastern U.S. and handles only injury law, including car, truck, railroad, and medical negligence cases. The firm's website is: www.hsinjurylaw.com , the firm edits two injury law blogs: Virginia Beach Injuryboard & Norfolk Injuryboard, and posts personal injury law videos as Hsinjurylaw at YouTube.
