Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

With pedestrian accidents, people are sometimes quick to jump to conclusions. Despite what many assume, though, these accidents aren’t all about who had the right-of-way (important as that may be). Investigators also need to consider possible factors like visibility, signage, road conditions, alcohol, potential emergencies, distraction, etc. Likely or not, it’s important to look at the evidence so that nothing slips through the cracks. If nothing else, the victim’s loved ones deserve to know they’re not missing anything important.
