Pedestrian Accident

Southside, the UAB medical district, Five Points South and downtown all have heavy foot traffic, and some of the city’s wide arterial roads have long gaps between crosswalks. People on foot get hurt badly even in low-speed crashes. Alabama’s contributory negligence rule is a frequent defense in these cases, so video and witnesses matter.

If a bus or city vehicle was involved, notice deadlines can be short. Our pedestrian crash guide covers the details.
