People too often write off pedestrian accidents because they’re seen as open-and-shut. In reality, all kinds of possible factors need to be considered. That could even include things like road design, medical conditions, signage and lighting, and other potential factors. Otherwise, something important could slip through the cracks. If authorities can’t reassure a family that they’re getting the full story, then they may not be giving the accident the attention it deserves.
