Pedestrians are completely unprotected on public roads. When a motor vehicle strikes a pedestrian, traumatic brain injuries, pelvic fractures, and internal bleeding are common. Drivers often cause pedestrian crashes by speeding, looking at phones, or failing to yield during turns. SCV Law Firm, PLLC demands full accountability from negligent drivers and their insurers.
North Carolina's pure contributory negligence rule poses serious hurdles for pedestrians. If an insurance company claims you crossed outside a crosswalk or wore dark clothing, they will attempt to deny your claim under the 1 percent rule. Our attorneys secure traffic signal timing records, vehicle speed data, and security camera footage to show the driver had a clear duty of care and ample time to stop.
Active pedestrian zones in Downtown Raleigh, near NC State University on Hillsborough Street, North Hills, and along Capital Boulevard experience frequent pedestrian collisions caused by distracted and turning drivers.
