Identifying the Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Milwaukee

Drivers must never forget that the size and weight of their vehicles makes them extremely dangerous to pedestrians, even at relatively low speeds. Drivers can and do cause catastrophic, all-too-often fatal accidents through negligent actions such as the following:

• Failing to stop at a crosswalk
• Failing to stop for a pedestrian at a corner
• Driving up onto the sidewalk
• Swerving onto the shoulder

Cars and trucks always need to stop for pedestrians who have the right of way. But even when pedestrians are jaywalking, that is no excuse for drivers to hit them. In both cases, drivers who do not take reasonable steps to avoid accidents can be held accountable.

Maximize What You Recover Following an Intersection Accident

Many serious auto accidents in Wisconsin occur at urban, suburban and rural intersections. Tragically, the majority of these accidents are preventable: Usually, the problem is that one driver acted negligently or carelessly.
