Liability in Pedestrian Accidents

Drivers in Alabama have a legal responsibility to operate their vehicles in a reasonably safe manner. Alabama Code § 32-5A-211(a) provides that the “driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way, slowing down, or stopping if need be, to a pedestrian or bicyclists crossing the roadway within a crosswalk.”

Any person injured by a vehicle may have a bodily injury claim. It is important to contact an attorney concerning your rights and possible  causes of action arising from a pedestrian accident.
