Hi I’m Jim Dodson, so who is a pedestrian? You know it’s not always quite as obvious
as we think. Certainly, someone walking on a sidewalk or on a crosswalk is a pedestrian,
but did you know someone on wheelchair or someone who is on skates or skateboard or
even someone one on a bicycle when they’re on the sidewalk or they’re in a crosswalk.
All of these people are subject to the same rules; and cars have an obligation to use
do care to avoid hitting them.
You’ll find a full explanation of this and a lot of other commonly misunderstood rules
of the road in my book “Florida Pedestrian Accident Guide”, which I make available
at no cost at our website. I’m Jim Dodson. I practice pedestrian injury law in Clearwater
and throughout Florida. You have a great day!
