When a person crossing the street get hit by a car, they can be seriously injured. Our can accident lawyers have handled many of these cases.
One incident was reported online yesterday. A 47-year-old Stewartville woman was in critical condition after being hit by a vehicle in Rochester. Police said the woman was walking across 2nd Street using the crosswalk at 18th Ave. SW when she was hit by a car. A vehicle in the right lane had stopped to let her cross. However, a second car in the left lane reportedly did not see her and struck her in the crosswalk. Our car accident lawyers represent pedestrians in these situations.
The preliminary investigation revealed alcohol is not believed to be a factor in that reported case. Police said the pedestrian was taken by Gold Cross to Saint Mary’s and at last word was listed in critical condition. This incident will now change the lives of everyone involved.
Our lawyers are very experienced with this cases. This type of accident usually happens because of driver distraction when the car is making a turn. In some cases, the driver just looks one way before making the turn and the doesn’t see the pedestrian in front of them. Unfortunately, when a person is walking and hit by a car, the injuries can be life threatening.
