Certain people are statistically more at risk for pedestrian accidents than others, like young children and those who walk between 6 pm and 12 pm. If you or a loved one is part of either of these groups then take as many safety precautions as possible.
It's also best to walk with a friend or group of people in the event something happens to one of you. Make sure someone has a cell phone to call for help if an accident does occur. If you are walking alone, make sure someone you trust knows what route you take and let them know that you arrived safely.
An Alert Pedestrian is a Safe Pedestrian
Pedestrians can be at fault for an accident just as much as a car driver if they are not paying attention to where they are walking in relation to nearby traffic. If you are injured in any pedestrian accident regardless of fault, contact The Law Office of Jason R. Schultz, P.C. to discuss your situation.
