You Have the Right-of-Way

Whether running, jogging or walking, pedestrians are granted certain protections by state law.

• At crosswalks and intersections: Under A.R.S. 28-792, motorists must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians at marked crosswalks and intersections. A motorist is also prohibited from passing a stopped vehicle at a crosswalk or intersection.

• Outside crosswalks: While pedestrians are required to yield the right-of-way to vehicles when not using a marked crosswalk or intersection, drivers must take care to avoid colliding with a pedestrian, no matter what the circumstances, under A.R.S. 28-794. Drivers are also advised to slow down, stop or use their horns in order to prevent a collision with pedestrians.

If the driver hit you while you were running or jogging, and violated laws in the process, your chance of recovering fair and just compensation is even stronger. Contact The Husband & Wife Law Team to discuss your case with an experienced attorney.

What Is Your Case Worth?

The amount of money you may be able to get from the negligent driver's insurance will depend on the injuries and other damages related to the accident. Medical bills, lost time at work, loss of earning capacity and even pain and suffering will factor into the total settlement, as well as any costs you are expected to sustain in the future.

A knowledgeable and resourceful pedestrian injury lawyer will not only be able to investigate the cause of your accident, but will also tell your story and support the many reasons why you need and deserve compensation. Ultimately, the legal counsel you choose can make or break your case.
