How Did This Accident Occur?

People often see a pedestrian in the road and assume that either the pedestrian was in a crosswalk or they’re at fault for the accident. That’s not really how things work, though it is an important detail for investigators to consider. What it ultimately comes down to is whether or not the pedestrian was avoidable.

Generally, if evidence shows the driver had no way to see and avoid the pedestrian, then it’s likely that the victim was inattentive or impatient and caused the accident. But if evidence shows the driver should have been able to see and avoid the pedestrian, that would raise questions about why there was a collision and what prevented the driver from reacting in time.
