According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) nearly 5000 pedestrians die in traffic related accidents every year and in 2012 close to 76,000 pedestrians were injured in accidents involving motor vehicles. People on foot are particularly vulnerable in traffic, and automobile drivers by law must yield to pedestrians crossing the street.   A pedestrian has the right to compensation for damages if someone else’s negligence lead to or caused the accident. Negligence happens when a person does or does not do something that is considered reasonable or unreasonable in a situation to protect others from danger.
