Important Reminders for Pedestrians.

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 experienced pedestrian defense personal injury attorney in Amarillo.  Call today at (806) 374-9498.
