Assistance with Pedestrian Accidents
A fail to yield to pedestrian in crosswalk ticket will result in a $810 fine and 4 demerits. Not only is the fine large but fail to yield to pedestrian is a major traffic violation resulting in large insurance rate increases you'll pay for a three year period.
That is on top the monumental impact pedestrian accidents will already have on your insurance rates. Your insurance carrier will certainly double dip (major ticket increase plus an accident increase) so your rates will be truly brutal for the next three years.
Our job is to decrease the impact of that ticket on your record to save you major amounts of money and we take of the court date as well… because you really don’t need that added stress.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Understanding the causes of pedestrian accidents can prevent these incidents from happening.
Distracted driving: Talking on the phone, texting, or engaging with in-vehicle entertainment is a leading cause of accidents when distracted drivers fail to see pedestrians crossing the street.
Speeding: Reduced reaction time prevents drivers from being able to stop when a pedestrian enters the street and faster cars cause more severe injuries.
Fail to Yield: Many accidents occur when drivers fail to yield to pedestrians due to inattention or a misunderstanding of traffic laws.
Poor Visibility: Accidents are more common at night or in adverse weather conditions when visibility is reduced. The risk is heightened in areas that have inadequate lighting. Alberta’s harsh winters can create hazardous conditions for both drivers and pedestrians. Icy roads, snow banks, and reduced visibility all contribute to increased accident risk.
Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drug use significantly impair a driver’s judgment and reaction time, increasing the risk of pedestrian accidents. Impaired driving remains a serious issue in Alberta.
