Liability in pedestrian accidents can often be complex and involves understanding the different factors and entities responsible. In San Bernardino, as elsewhere, following local traffic laws is key for both drivers and pedestrians. If a vehicle hits a pedestrian who was using a crosswalk correctly, the driver is typically found at fault. However, there can be situations where both parties share fault, such as when a pedestrian fails to follow traffic signals. In some cases, poor road conditions or inadequate signage may place some liability on the city or property owners. Due to these complexities, a seasoned pedestrian accident attorney can be invaluable in investigating the scene and circumstances of your accident to build a compelling case.
