How Is Fault Reviewed After a Pedestrian Accident in Haverhill, MA?

Fault after a pedestrian accident in Haverhill, MA, may depend on what the driver and pedestrian were doing immediately before the crash. Traffic signals, crosswalks, roadway markings, visibility, vehicle movements, and other evidence may be considered when determining how the crash occurred.

The location can be particularly important in a pedestrian claim. Information about nearby crosswalks, intersections, signs, lighting, and traffic signals may help establish where the pedestrian was walking and how the vehicle was approaching.

Visibility may also warrant closer review when a crash occurs at night. Photographs of the roadway and surrounding lighting, witness accounts, surveillance footage, and other evidence may help show what drivers and pedestrians could see before the crash.

Vehicle evidence can provide additional information. Damage to the vehicle, debris, photographs, and the position of the vehicle after the crash may help establish the direction of travel and sequence of events. Preserving this information can become more difficult once the vehicle is repaired or the scene changes.

The medical effects of a pedestrian crash can also be significant. Hospital treatment, follow-up appointments, medication, rehabilitation, and other care may create expenses that should be documented. Records of missed work and other financial losses may also become relevant.

Insurance coverage is another part of reviewing a pedestrian claim. The driver's auto policy and other potentially applicable coverage may need to be examined alongside medical bills and documentation of financial losses.

A pedestrian accident lawyer can review the available evidence and explain how the circumstances of the crash may affect a potential claim. An attorney may also help evaluate insurance coverage and identify records that could clarify what happened.
