Wisconsin pedestrian accident attorneys
In Wisconsin, pedestrians have the right of way.
If you’re injured by a motor vehicle while walking or running, Bye, Goff & Rohde can help.
Countless people enjoy a walk outdoors or run on a daily basis. Unfortunately, many drivers do not respect the rights of pedestrians. Whether in a crosswalk or running on a country road, pedestrians are vulnerable to motor vehicles.
If you’ve been injured by a automobile, bicycle, or other moving vehicle while walking, a personal injury attorney at Bye, Goff & Rohde can help you. The law awards the right-of-way to pedestrians. In every case, all others must yield to a person who is walking adjacent to traffic.
Pedestrian accidents are often catastrophic.
Because pedestrians are unprotected, they’re vulnerable to devastating injuries. Approximately fifty people are killed each year by moving vehicles in Wisconsin. In most cases, the cause is inattentive driving.
