Pedestrian Safety: During the shopping crush!

Lately I've seen more and more alerts for pedestrian accidents that could be prevented by either the car or truck drivers or the pedestrian themselves. So for today I've compiled a list of previous posts discussing pedestrian safety. Some of the posts are by other attorneys including Mike Bryant and Wayne Parsons. Happy holidays to our readers.

Pedestrian Collisions Causing Injury and Death

My mom was crossing street in crosswalk. She was one step from stepping UP on the curb when a car came around the corner and struck her. She seriously injured and taken to hospital. She suffered severe brain trauma and was in ICU for 5 days before we had to let her go. The police said they did not drug or alcohol test the driver. Isn't that a law in Iowa to make sure they do that?

How can a pedestrian avoid being hit by oncoming traffic?
