Please don’t make a fatal mistake in thinking that because
you are on foot and they are on wheels that you always have the right of
way. With the wide open spaces of the
Amarillo area there are plenty of danger zones between drivers of motor
vehicles and those who are going from point A to point B on foot, even if it is
for a short distance.
Let’s add this to the mix - drivers and walkers are legally
or illegally using their cell phones constantly. This creates distracted activity on behalf of
both parties. Even a sidewalk is not a
safe haven. It must be properly used and
pedestrians need to stay within the crosswalk when moving from one side of the
street to the other.
It seems simple on the surface, but there will still be
accidents between people on foot and those behind the wheel. If you live in the area and feel that you
have been injured negligently by a driver while you were walking, make the
right call. Attorney Bill Cornett is an
