Dark Roads and Dangerous Drivers.
Did you know that most fatal pedestrian accidents happen at night?
It makes sense. It is harder to see. But that means drivers need to be more careful, not less. They need to use their headlights. They need to slow down in neighborhoods.
We often hear drivers say, "They came out of nowhere!" But when we investigate, we find that the pedestrian was in a crosswalk under a streetlamp. The driver just wasn't looking.
If you were hit at night, don't let the driver blame the darkness. They have a responsibility to drive safely in all conditions. We help injured pedestrians get the support they need to recover.
