The unfortunate truth is that many of the crashes that take place on our roadways are preventable. We see many people involved in accidents with pedestrians due to drivers who fail to yield the right-of-way. When drivers do not do this, it can have devastating consequences. In other instances, drivers may run red lights or pass stop signs at intersections. Even though pedestrians have the right of way to cross the roadway in these designated areas, drivers who do not follow road rules can cause serious harm. Distractions, impairment, and other negligent actions can also contribute to these accidents occurring.
