What are the most prevalent causes of pedestrian accidents?

Pedestrian accidents are frequently caused by driver negligence. At Blank Kim Injury Law in Annapolis, MD, we frequently see cases involving distracted driving, such as texting or using a phone. Speeding is another common factor that reduces a driver's reaction time. Failure to yield at crosswalks and disregarding traffic signals both contribute significantly to pedestrian accidents. Furthermore, driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs increases the risk of a collision. Poor visibility, particularly at night or in bad weather, can lead to accidents because drivers may not see pedestrians in time. Finally, reckless driving behaviors like running red lights or stop signs frequently result in serious pedestrian injuries. 

How does Maryland legislation protect pedestrians?

Maryland law provides robust protections for pedestrians to improve their safety. Blank Kim Injury Law in Annapolis, MD, understands these laws and uses them to advocate for our clients. Maryland's traffic laws require drivers to yield the right of way to pedestrians in crosswalks and follow speed limits in pedestrian-heavy areas. Furthermore, drivers must exercise caution to avoid colliding with pedestrians and are not permitted to overtake vehicles stopped at crosswalks. Maryland law also imposes severe penalties on drivers who fail to follow these regulations, which helps to deter negligent behavior.
