About Crosswalk Accidents
Crosswalk accidents occur when vehicles fail to yield to pedestrians who have the legal right-of-way. In most states, every intersection is considered a crosswalk, whether marked or not. Drivers have a legal duty to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, and failure to do so is negligence. These cases often have clear liability since the pedestrian was crossing legally.
