I have been injured in a pedestrian accident. I would like
to be compensated. Whom can I hold legally responsible for my injuries?
Depending
on the circumstances, the legal responsibility in a pedestrian accident may be
on more than one person. The potentially liable parties may include the driver
of a vehicle that strikes a pedestrian, the party responsible for maintaining the
sidewalk, road or parking lot in question, or the pedestrian himself/herself.
Whether by a vehicle or a property defect, if the accident was caused by
someone else’s fault, the pedestrian accident victim may be eligible to receive
compensation.
The other day, as my mother was crossing the road, an intoxicated driver ran a red light and hit her. She suffered grievous injuries and is still in the hospital. The reckless driver has been identified, but he is not willing to compensate for my mother’s injuries. What can we do?
