Pennsylvania Pedestrian Accidents
Pennsylvania cities are often packed with activity where cars, bicyclists, and pedestrians have to share public roads. Unfortunately, not everyone understands or observes the rules of the road that govern right-of-way at crosswalks, stoplights, or stop signs.
All drivers have the responsibility to drive safe and adhere to Pennsylvania driving laws, but pedestrians are still injured and killed every day due to driver negligence.
