Pedestrian Accidents


FAQs

He began crossing a street with the light; however, due to his disability, he was not completely across the street when the light changed. A car hit and killed him. Is the driver liable even though my nephew was in the intersection against the light? Is the city liable for not providing a walk signal that was long enough?
