Salt Lake City Utah Pedestrian Accident Lawyer | Utah Pedestrian Attorney

The Salt Lake Tribune reported that a man hit while crossing as street yesterday has since passed way due to complications associated with his pedestrian accident injuries. This accident offers important lessons to both drivers and pedestrians. Drivers must always focus on the road, especially in areas with pedestrians and bicyclists. In the few seconds it takes to change the radio or pick up a cell phone, a pedestrian can cross the path of your vehicle without warning. Likewise, pedestrians must always be aware of traffic laws, only crossing the road at designated areas when the traffic signal allows for it.

Every year, 60,000 pedestrians are killed in traffic accidents in the United States. An additional 110,000 pedestrians are injured in accidents every year.

We all need to be responsible during our respective commutes, and work to keep Utah’s roads a safe place for travel.
