Pedestrian Safety
In large urban areas pedestrians and automobiles must cooperate with one another to ensure safety. Unfortunately, however, not all drivers and pedestrians obey traffic laws, and, consequently, there are a large number of accidents. Both negligent drivers and pedestrians can cause an accident to occur, but it is most likely that the pedestrian will sustain more serious injury.
If you have been involved in a pedestrian/automobile accident, you may be eligible for compensation. Contact the Harrisburg personal injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511 to schedule a free initial consultation.
