Pedestrian Accidents in Oklahoma
Most pedestrian accidents in the United States are caused by driver’s error, which includes drivers texting, speeding, driving under the influence,conversing with passengers, or falling asleep at the wheel. Whenever a driver is driving reckless and strikes a pedestrian, they can be held responsible for the entire accident. Under California law, drivers are required to yield to pedestrians despite who has the right of way. However, there are some cases where pedestrians are partially liable, which might be the case for this accident. Although the police are still investigating, the reports state that the pedestrian stepped into oncoming traffic, which means he put himself at risk of being hit. Once the police determine who will be held liable, the pedestrian may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.
