In a pedestrian accident, the risk of serious injuries is very high. Yet, not every case is clear in terms of who caused the accident and who is responsible for the losses. When you are involved in a pedestrian accident like this, seek the guidance of a Delaware County pedestrian accident attorney who can help you navigate your legal rights.
Driver Remained at the Scene
Reports indicate that the driver of the Acura stopped at the scene and was cooperating with police. The victim died from injuries about an hour later at the hospital.
For victims of car accidents like this, it can be difficult to know what to do from a legal standpoint. It may seem that the pedestrian is the only party at fault, but that is not always the case. In many situations, multiple parties hold responsibility, and to learn that, you must investigate your case’s details.
