Rights of Pedestrians in Roadway Accidents

The rights of pedestrians as anyone else on the road, including operators of vehicles, motorcycles, and bicyclers. In many cases, pedestrians are able to benefit from crosswalks and sidewalks, which means you can feel safe walking where you need to go, with the assumption that vehicles will respect your right-of-way.

However, there are situations where operators of motor vehicles violate the rules and cause accidents involving pedestrians. In these situations, the pedestrian has a right to seek financial compensation through a personal injury claim. If a pedestrian loses his or her life to such an accident, then the loved ones of the victim have a right to financial compensation through a wrongful death claim.
