Pedestrian Accidents in Arizona
Pedestrian-involved crashes remain a significant safety concern in Arizona, particularly in urban areas like Tucson. Intersections pose a heightened risk, especially during nighttime and early morning hours when visibility is reduced.
Drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks, but distractions, speeding, and failing to observe traffic signals often contribute to these tragic incidents. Pedestrians, in turn, should remain aware of their surroundings and ensure they cross safely when possible.
Victims of pedestrian accidents often face severe injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, and other long-term health complications. If you or a loved one has been affected by a pedestrian crash, understanding legal options is crucial in obtaining compensation for medical expenses and recovery.
