How To Prove Negligence In A Pedestrian Accident
Proving negligence in a pedestrian accident case in Milwaukee means showing that the at-fault party didn’t follow their legal duty, directly causing your pedestrian injury. This can be tricky because multiple parties might be responsible, such as the driver or the person maintaining the sidewalk or road. Our experienced team at Lindner Law, LLC, including skilled investigators, will carefully look into your case. We’ll find all potential liable parties and build a strong claim for your damages.
In pedestrian accident cases, compensation often depends on proving that the at-fault party broke their duty of care. Both drivers and pedestrians must follow traffic laws and act reasonably to avoid accidents. Our lawyers are skilled at presenting your case’s facts to show negligence and secure compensation.
We hold drivers accountable when they cause pedestrian accidents by:
- Being distracted or not paying attention
- Driving too fast or ignoring speed limits
- Not yielding to pedestrians at crosswalks
- Ignoring traffic signs or signals
- Turning without signaling
- Driving unsafely due to road conditions
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
These careless actions can lead to severe injuries for pedestrians. That’s why having legal help is key to getting fair compensation.
