Pedestrian accidents aren’t always seen as the complex accidents they really are. People think it’s all about who had the right-of-way. That’s important, but it’s just one factor. Investigators also need to consider things like lighting, signage, road markings, visibility, and whether or not the driver had a reasonable chance to avoid the collision. If authorities aren’t painting a clear picture using these factors, then they could be missing something important.
