People are sometimes quick to jump to conclusions following pedestrian accidents. While they may think everything comes down to right-of-way, there are other important factors to consider. These can include visibility, road conditions, roadway design, lighting and signage, alcohol, distraction, etc. If authorities haven’t taken the time to consider the accident from all angles, they could be missing something important.
