Pedestrians should always use designated crosswalks, observe traffic signals, and avoid distractions like their phones while walking. It’s also essential to wear reflective clothing, especially at night so that drivers can see them.

On the other hand, drivers should follow speed limits, avoid distractions like texting or eating while driving, and stay alert for pedestrians, especially around busy areas. If you’re driving at night, turn on your headlights to improve your visibility and reduce the chances of an accident.

In case of such accidents, it’s crucial to seek legal advice from experienced lawyers specialized in personal injury cases. The victim’s family may be entitled to compensation for their loss, and a skilled attorney can help them navigate the legal process.

The Avian Law Group firmly believes accidents like these are preventable, and by following traffic rules and being cautious, we can reduce the number of fatalities on our roads. We extend our deepest condolences to the victim’s family and urge everyone to prioritize road safety.
