Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Serving West Virginia and Ohio

Over 100,000 serious pedestrians accidents occur every year in the United States, with an alarmingly high 50% fatality rate. Sadly enough, many of these severe injuries and fatalities are children and senior citizens. Why is this number so high, and what can we do to save more lives? At the law offices of Jim Leach, our pedestrian accident attorney take every opportunity to send a message to our West Virginia communities demanding safer standards by punishing those who harm or kill others with their recklessness.

There are many causes of pedestrian accidents, and while some cases of injury result from an error on the part of the pedestrian, the majority of pedestrian accidents occur because of a careless or negligent act by a driver. Examples of reckless driving that can lead to pedestrian injury include speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, preoccupation with devices like cell phones, iPods, or the radio, failure to acknowledge stop signs or traffic lights, failure to stop at school crosswalks, and simply not paying careful attention on the road.
