Pedestrian Accident Law Firm

Pedestrians have just as much right to traverse the streets of Albuquerque, NM as drivers do. However, some motorists don’t take the rights of pedestrians seriously, which can lead to damaging accidents. That’s precisely where our team of skilled accident attorneys at Hinkle Law Offices, LLC comes in.

In addition to our extensive legal experience and knowledge, we also take the time to get to know our clients and their needs. This level of care is crucial when it comes to pedestrian accidents, which can leave a person out of commission for many weeks or months as they recover from their injuries.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents can result from numerous factors, including the following common causes:

  • Driving Distractions – In addition to texting while driving, distracted driving also includes eating behind the wheel, adjusting the radio, or even talking with passengers. Drivers must pay attention to the road at all times to avoid accidents, especially in areas with lots of pedestrians.
  • Dangerous Crosswalks – Not all crosswalks are clearly marked, which can confuse both pedestrians and drivers. The risk is particularly high on streets where traffic congestion is likely, as drivers may not take the time to notice pedestrians in confusing crosswalks.
  • Speeding and Other Behaviors – Motorists must follow the rules of the road at all times, as traffic laws are designed to keep people safe. Speeding can easily lead to accidents, as drivers won’t have time to respond appropriately if they encounter a pedestrian unexpectedly.

Of course, pedestrian accidents can occur for many other reasons. Driver impairment, lack of road signage, and general negligence can all contribute to these potentially deadly accidents.
