How Did This Accident Occur?

When it comes to pedestrian-involved car accidents, most people assume it comes down to who had the right-of-way. While that is important, it is really only one question of many that need to be answered. If the investigators are as thorough and openminded as they should be, then they will also be asking things like what is pedestrian infrastructure like in the area? Are there a sufficient number of crosswalks? Did the driver end up hitting the pedestrian even though the collision was avoidable? Was the vehicle traveling at unsafe speeds? Were distraction, fatigue, or impairment a factor? Honestly, the list could go on and on. The point is, the vague assumptions that result from surface-level investigation just won’t cut it.
