Do Pedestrians Have Rights after a Auto Accident in Kansas or Missouri?

Fatal pedestrian accidents can happen for many reasons.  Losing your vision for one second-- whether it be because of a sun glare or to send a text message-- can create a lot of problems.   Last week, a 77 year-old woman was killed in a pedestrian-auto accident that happened at the intersection of 79th street and Jarboe in Kansas City, Missouri.  Police say the woman may have been in the middle of the road when she was struck by a teenager on his way to school at a nearby high school.

Our experienced Kansas City Auto Injury Lawyers are rightfully concerned about the number of pedestrian accidents caused by distracted and inattentive driving. One problem is that many victims of pedestrian injury feel that they have no rights-- but that is not the case. A pedestrian who is injured in a car accident, may have a personal injury claim against the driver of the vehicle that hit him and may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, therapy, pain and suffering, property loss and other damages.

If you or someone you love has suffered a serious injury in an auto accident in Kansas or Missouri, you may be entitled to compensation.
