State law has established duties owed by drivers to pedestrians for their safety. Pedestrians include bicyclists, skateboarders, or anyone moving by their own effort. There are specific laws provided for the protection of all pedestrians who are properly using the streets, sidewalks and crosswalks. When those laws are broken by motorists, the injuries caused to the pedestrian can be catastrophic since a pedestrian has little, if any, protection when struck by a vehicle. This can result in substantial wage loss, permanent impairment, incapacity, pain, suffering, a permanent loss of an ability to perform and enjoy regular activities, or even death.
The laws in Oregon and Washington differ regarding which insurance pays the medical bills of the injured pedestrian. If you, a friend or family member have suffered an injury in a pedestrian-car accident, it is important that you seek the guidance of a qualified attorney as soon as possible to ensure prompt payment of all medical bills, as well as to navigate the claims process. At the Law Office of Gregory E. Price, we have handled pedestrian accident claims in Oregon and Washington for over 33 years.
